Subscription — $2.00 THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE An Essential Factor DR. EUGENE S. FARLEY » PRESIDENT 0 WILKES COLLEGE elievers in democracy have placed their faith in the improvability of man. They have recognized that without education wideu—=43 spread intelligent responsibility would be lacking and that ignor­ ance, indecision, and indifference would ultimately destroy the institu­ tions and the freedoms for which our forebears struggled throughout the centuries. The American dream of self-government and equal oppor­ tunity has been based upon the faith that education would create independent citizens conscious of their public and private responsibilities. Their faith has never been fully proven, — and in all probability it never can be, — but neither has it been disproven. Responsible generations of intelligent men have, through education, expanded the areas of freedom and opportunity open to all men. Through education, successive genera­ tions have enlarged their own capabilities, and in so doing they have expanded their own horizons, and the horizons of succeeding generations. page j 3 �By nurturing the latent capabilities of individuals, education has enlarged man’s knowledge of nature and has expanded the boundaries of his thoughts. By releas­ ing and controlling the physical power of fossil fuels and of the atom, man has steadily expanded the activities in which he can engage, and in which he must engage. If men are to prosper in an industrial technology that per­ petually changes as science pushes back the horizons that heretofore have circumscribed the thoughts and acts of men, then their education must continually be extended. A static education cannot serve a dynamic society. In the twentieth century man’s knowledge has in­ creased beyond the dreams of those who were best acquainted with the knowledge, the thought and the achievements of the early nineteenth century. Unfort­ unately, the educational system that nurtured the minds of those who were responsible for these great changes has failed to keep abreast of the new world that they have created. The education of teachers does not develop an ad­ equate understanding of the new knowledge that is being made available, nor have administrators and school boards fully recognized the need for the con­ tinuing education of teachers. They have failed to rec­ ognize that the doubling of knowledge every ten to fifteen years requires continuing study by teachers. Teachers cannot interpret and give direction and pur­ pose to the thought of students growing up in the midst of change unless they themselves are able to keep abreast of the ever-expanding front of knowledge. And lest you think at this point that I labor under the delusion that this criticism does not apply to the colleges and to college administrators, let me stress the opinion that the colleges are more guilty than the rest of the educational world. It is the responsibility of the colleges to advance and interpret all knowledge. When they fail in either aspect of this responsibility they contribute to the lag between “what is” and “what should be.” Even as many of us have failed to keep abreast of the expanding front of knowledge, so have we failed to adapt our educational institutions to the industrial tech­ nology upon which our economic welfare is based. We have been disconcerted by “drop-outs” and the very apparent relationship between curtailed education, un­ employment, delinquency, and crime, but we have failed to create institutions and programs that will prepare all individuals for a constructive place in our industrial economy. Although there are many places where we have failed to bridge the gap between the school? and our economy, in this article we are concerned with posthigh school programs that extend the opportunity to both students and adults for the continuation of their general, vocational, and technical education beyond the secondary school. In this area of education Pennsylvania has been among the most laggard of states. Only in the past year has the State adopted enabling legislation which will permit the creation of community colleges, but even this belated legislation will be meaningless until it is implemented. To give meaning to this legislation the newly-created Board of Education and the Commission on Higher Education must formulate working plans for the development of community colleges, and the leg­ islature must provide funds for the construction of build­ ings and for the support of new programs. At the moment some persons are concerned by the in­ creased costs that community colleges will impose upon the communities and the State. This hesitancy would be justified were this not an investment in the develop­ ment of human resources. It is, however, an essential investment, and community colleges are now indispen­ sable to the vitality of our economy and the prosperity of our workers. Industries require a continuing flow of trained workers and those industries that are based upon modern technology cannot afford to establish themselves in areas where trained workers are not available and where opportunities for the retraining of workers are not offered. The demands of technology and the pace of technological development require first the training and then the re-training of workers. This training and re-training of skilled workers is a major responsibility of community colleges. In our industrial society tech­ nological training is as essential to the maintenance of industry as is general education to the maintenance of free political and economic institutions. There are some who doubt the soundness of an in­ vestment in community colleges. To these doubters I point to the laggard position of Pennsylvania in the establishment of community colleges and to the loss of industries and jobs during the past two decades. If in­ dustry had kept abreast of current trends, it would have required more technologists, and if technological edu­ cation had been provided, more technological industries might have located within the State. For many years now our young people have migrated from the State in search of better job opportunities. Had these job opportunities been available within the State they would doubtless have remained near their homes. Unfortunately they have migrated because Pennsylvania ing technologies. As has already been suggested, there is strong probability that failure to provide an adequate post-high school program of technical education has contributed to the industrial lag which has caused the emigration of our young people. This is more than sur­ mize, for industrial leaders have advised us that tech­ nical education is an essential factor in the selection of sites for modern plants. They have found that no mod­ em industry can meet competition unless its personnel is kept abreast of scientific and technological develop­ ments. So far, I have emphasized the vocational-technological importance of the community college. Possibly I have over-emphasized this aspect, but I have done this de­ liberately. In Pennsylvania we have been slow to rec­ ognize the growing interdependence of education and industry. Education has cultivated the brains that have created modern technology and science. Now education is required to provide more training so that scientists may continue to expand our frontiers of knowledge while technologists apply this knowledge to create new products and to develop new methods of production. In the midst of this technological revolution we cannot relax our efforts, we must redouble them. Pennsylvania, if it is to recover its place in the emerging economy of the nation, must fill the educational void that has too long existed in the Commonwealth. There is also a possibility that I have given too little attention to the extension of general education via the community college. This also is deliberate. In Pennsyl­ vania we have a diverse system of colleges that offer an academic education beyond the secondary school. These colleges are widely dispersed and they exist in every significant center of population within the State. In a sense, they have encouraged the existing imbalance in the educational program. By extolling the virtues of that which is academic and by belittling the value of tech­ nical training they have discouraged and delayed the development of technical education. By doing their own job quite well they have unintentionally obstructed the development of a program of education that is essential to our economy. Existing colleges can meet the need for further academic education and some of the needs for semi-professional personnel. They are not, however, ready to provide a program that will provide technical and vocational training for all high school graduates. To supplement the work of the colleges and to fill the exist­ ing void, we must establish technically-oriented com­ munity colleges in every industrial center. In so doing we should provide academic programs adapted to the needs of students whose primary interests are vocational ing colleges without duplicating their efforts. In the long run it may well be that the training and re-training of adults will be the most important function of the community college. All of us are aware that the skills required by industry change with great rapidity. Few of us realize, however, that, as the head of one great industry recently remarked, the high school grad­ uate of today will be required to develop four or five new skills during his productive years. The remarks of this business leader accent the importance of retraining. Continuous re-training is essential to the welfare of the individual, of industry, and of the economy. It is not enough, however, for the community college to devote itself exclusively to the technical training of adults. These institutions must also provide programs that will cultivate individual interests and talents. As jobs become more highly mechanized and monotony is thereby increased, the maintenance of mental and physical vigor requires a nurturing of creative interests. It is not enough that modern man shall find his place in an industrial society; he must also increase his signif­ icance as an individual. This is essential to his mental health and to the vigor of our complex society. In all of this planning we must remember that with­ out greater understanding of man and society, technical knowledge can lead to the decline of our civilization. To cultivate adequate understanding adult education must also concern itself with the character and vitality of our social, political, and economic institutions. With­ out such understanding, these basic institutions lose their vitality and demagogues can persuade an ill-informed people to destroy the institutions and to abandon the ideals that have given our forebears a sense of purpose and direction. Pennsylvania has been slow to recognize the inter­ dependence of education and modem industry. It has not given adequate support to the training of men and women beyond the college and this lack of support has limited the number of pioneer thinkers within its bound­ aries. It has completely failed to provide an adequate program of post-high school technical training. To re­ store the proper balance between education and our industrial economy, community colleges must be es­ tablished and graduate education must be given greater support. The community colleges should never duplicate existing programs, but they should fill the educational gap that has too long existed in our State. A balanced program of education is essential to the maintenance of a sound and growing economy. �1 Successful College and Conrniimilg Production 'i- ■ IB SIM If Bit V Alfred S. Groh (’41), Director of Theater, takes you behind the scenes, where organization, talent, and cooperation were the combination for a successful College-Community production. Al Groh discussing the interpretation of a scene with Rhea Politis Simms (Maria) and John Hyer (Captain von Trapp). The Sound of Music, presented at Irem Temple under the direction of the Theater and the Music Department, was the sixth musical comedy sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club. For those who may wish to measure the years in between, other musicals were Girl Crazy (1954), Bloomer Girl (1956), Paint Your Wagon (1957), Annie Get Your Gun (1959), and The Music Man (1962). Four public performances, including a Saturday matinee, played to full houses, with a preview per­ formance for 850 students and their drama, music, and art teachers invited from 38 area high schools. Let me review, since the problems will not exist when we move into the new theater next September, some of our preparations in mounting a show re­ quiring eight good voices, seven children, a wom­ en's chorus of twenty-five, six major sets, and a pit orchestra of thirty-four. In preparation, the stage of Chase Theater was removed during the summer to give us an additional height and floor space for carpentry, construction, painting, and rehearsing. The three stained-glass windows were framed against the back wall, the design traced, and the figures and patterns painted with analine dyes while sets were being painted on the floor of the theater. Rolling platforms were constructed in the basement of Stark Hall; the steps and landings were built by the maintenance staff in Weiss Garage. Unfortunately, we were not able to assemble and hang the completed units in sequence until the stage crew positioned them at Irem Temple four days before we opened. In performances we had to depend on thirteen spotlights, which frequently prove insufficient to light the one-acts at Chase Theater. Seven secretaries in Chase Hall were recruited as decoy nuns so that Dick Chapline's full chorus could perform as the singing nuns. Bill Gasbarro directed the twenty-two student volunteer musicians in re­ hearsals at Geis Hall and in the foyer of the gym­ nasium; several run-throughs with the orchestra and cast were held in the gymnasium. On two occasions Jim Ferris' basketball team cut short its practices to permit us to tape the floor and run the show. More than 60 children, ages 6 to 14, auditioned for the children's roles, and more than 80 students for the 15 principal roles. Nita Novy, a student in the ninth grade at Kingston High School, recreated the role of Brigitta that she played for a year on Broadway and for 16 months in the National Touring Company of The Sound of Music. Helen Ralston (Bloomer Girl), the wife of our Dean of Men, sang the role of the Mother Superior, and Rhea Politis Simms (The Prince of the Green Winds) returned to the campus to portray Maria. Andrew Palencar, instructor in art at Coughlin High School, designed the sets. Like Cathal O'Toole, Members of the costume committee in an early fitting session.

A similar policy was followed by the Belgium War Relief Commission at the end of the first World War; un­ expended funds were used to establish the Belgian-American Foundation, one of whose purposes was the inter­ change of students. In 1936, the sign­ ing of the Convention for the Pro­ motion of Inter-American Cultural Relations, as part of the Good Neigh­ bor policy, signaled the beginning of multilateral exchanges of students and teachers between the Americas, and marked the beginning of regular ex­ penditures for scholarships and for personnel engaged in the promotion of international understanding through educational interchanges.

Wilkes Mentor Captured 5 MAC Team Titles Wilkes College has had successful campaigns in wrestling under the coaching talents of John Reese. Since Coach Reese joined the Wilkes staff in 1955, he has molded championship teams and many outstanding individual talents. Coach Reese is a 1945 graduate of Kingston High School, where he began his wrestling career. He wrestled three years for Kingston, winning in District meets and reaching the semi-finals in state competition. After graduation, Reese entered the Navy for two years and then entered Millers­ ville State Teachers College upon his discharge. He studied a year there and then left co enter Penn State University where he continued on to be graduated with a B.S. in Physical Education. I Reese proved to have a talent for wrestling while at college. Four times he won the "YMCA Invitational Tournament,” the forerunner of the "Wilkes Invitational,” was outstanding wrestler one year, won in the MAC-AAU divisions in 1947, and placed third in the Eastern Regional Tournament. In 1951 Reese was graduated from Penn State University and joined the faculty of Kingston High School, his alma mater, and taught there two years. As wrestling coach, he molded winning teams that took first in districts both years he was there. In 1955 he assumed a full-time position at Wilkes, coaching soccer, wrestling and baseball. While at Wilkes, Keith was a member of the championship wrestling teams of '56, '57 and '58, the Lettermen's Club, and the Education Club. Presently, he is teacher of mathematics for advanced students at Cough­ lin High School, Wilkes-Barre. Keith is married to the former Florence Stefanowski of WilkesBarre.

The Williams' reside at 85 Aus­ tin Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. - , 4 I f ■ ____ -J Coach Reese is proud of all the wrestlers on his past and present teams. Reese explains that you need a wonderful attitude and tremendous desire to win to make the deciding factor in matches. Reese states that he is finding it difficult to keep the same team every year, because of the number of out-of-town boys on the team, consequently, making it difficult to build the certain attitude and pride that trademarked our past. Reese is a member of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association and has served as Director of the Wilkes Blood Donor Drive. He is presently wrestling editor of the sports magazine Mentor. Mr. Reese reflects the type of coach needed to produce a winning team. Reese Authors First Book; Wrestling Manual — Slated for Publication in Fall RECEIVES COMMISSION John Reese, director of athletics and wrestling coach at the College, recently signed an agreement giving Prentice-Hall publishing rights to his first book, Modem Wrestling Drills and Techniques. Co-author of the book is Leroy Alitz, wrestling coach at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. Steven L. Panken, '63, of 2125 Cruger Avenue, New York City, has been commissioned a sec­ ond lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force upon graduation from Officer Training School at Lack­ land Air Force Base, Texas, Lieutenant Panken, selected for OTS through competitive ex­ amination, is being assigned to the Air Training Commands Keesler AFB, Mississippi, for training as a communications officer. I Coach Reese demonstrated his talent for bringing out the potential in good wrestlers when he and his grapplers took MAC honors from 1957 through 1961. The teams’ record from 1955 is astounding to the Wilkes sports fan. The statistics speak for themselves: 1955-56 (9-1); 1956-57 (10-0-1); 1957-58 (9-1); 1962-63 (5-3); 1963-64 (5-2-1). In his time Reese has coached 13 Middle Atlantic Conference Champions. 4 Prior to the agreement. Prentice-Hall, the largest publishing firm in the field of college textbooks, sent out copies of the original manuscript to coaches all over the country. The purpose of this action was to obtain reviews and comments — to test the product before selling it. On the basis of these reviews and comments Prentice-Hall decided to publish the efforts of Coaches Reese and Alitz. Scheduled to appear on the shelves this autumn, the book is the first work on wrestling to be published by Prentice-Hall. �PICTORIAL HIGHLIGHTS WILKES OLDTIMERS (Seated: (left to right) Bob Morgan, Don Reynolds, Atty.

It will be quite a thrill for me to see so many of the oldtimers return at one time. The memories and thrills you have provided in the past years are enough to last any coach for a lifetime. THE COACH’S MESSAGE WILKES GRAPPLERS REUNION (February 20, 1965) I have always been immensely proud of my teams and the boys on them. The wonderful attitude and the tremendous desire to win was the deciding factor in our matches. The last few years have been different as far as team makeup is concerned. Instead of having the majority of our team members from the Valley, we have more from out of town. As a result, we have had more problems keeping the same boys in school each year and it has been difficult to build that same kind of attitude and pride that was our trademark in the past. This year we have a great group of young wrestlers who could go to win many matches. If we can keep them intact, you will be hearing from us. In closing, I would like to say that I hope you enjoyed wrestling for Wilkes as much as we have enjoyed having you on our teams. Best of luck in the the future future and make sure that you keep in touch. 1961 MAC CHAMPIONS 11-0 Season Record — 4th Place College Nationals First row (left to right: Brooke Yeager, Dick Stauffer, Mike Armstrong, Harry Vogt, Marty Strayer.

Clark Line, '65 Guest Sports Editor Spring Alumnus 1965 WRESTLING TEAM NINE STRAIGHT FOR SEASON The Wilkes wrestling team compiled its most outstanding record in three years during the past season. The Colonels finished the season with nine wins and a single loss. In the 1959-61 season, the Colonels finished with all-0 record. The Ithaca Bombers, in a tight battle, managed to gain a 15-14 win over the Colonels in the season’s initial meet. Wilkes trailed by one point going into the final match. Heavyweight Bill Tinney took the lead in the match, but was penalized on a technical call and was forced to settle for a draw which gave Ithaca its first win over Wilkes in ten years. Recovering quickly, the Colonels came back with a shutout victory over Delaware Valley and the Wilkes team began to roll. Relying on five freshmen out of the eight weight classes. Coach John Reese saw his Colonels overcome their initial shyness and swarm over a respect­ able C. W. Post team 26-6. The loss was the Pioneers' first in two previous outings. Wilkes anticipated a rough time with Hofstra, but the boys from Hempstead got snowbound and could not make the trip. Due to the heavy scheduling of this year’s meets, the Hofstra encounter had to be cancelled. ___________ The Colonels copped their _ second shutout_____ of thez season, blanking Ned McGinley, Madison-FDU 34-0. Team ccaptain .............. " ' ‘157-pounder Dave Hall, and Bill Tinney remained undefeated. Highlighting the meet was Vic Altonen's 32-second fall over his opponent in the 137 class. With three straight victories under their belts, two of which were shutouts, the Colonels disappointed a game Mansfield team by turning back the Mountaineers 24-6, and adding John Carr to the line-up. Millersville loomed as one of the toughest encounters of the season, but Wilkes had built up a tremendous momentum and rolled over the Marauders 26-6. Lycoming caused some anxiety for Coach Reese, presenting a strong team, with the Colonels, fears further heightened by the loss of injured Bill Tinney. The Warriors proved to be more worthy of the Colonels, challenge than any of the previous competitors, but Fran Olexy moved into the heavyweight slot and held Lycoming’s Pete Goguts to a 1-1 draw. The Colonels managed to continue their win skein, picking up more momentum and proceeded to gird for East Stroudsburg. With McGinley. Hall and Carr still undefeated, Wilkes had little trouble in disposing of East Stroudsburg and looked forward to finish­ ing the season with little real opposition in sight. Dickinson became the Colonels, third shutout of the year, bowing 30-0. Bill Stauffer, having set a record with a 25-2 decision earlier in the year, made an effort to repeat his performance in swamping Dickinson's Tom Hallam 15-2. MARVIN A. ANTINNES “WILKES WRESTLER OF THE DECADE” The photograph at left, taken in March 1961, appeared in the WILKES-BARRE RECORD after the Wilkes College Sports Banquet. The following article also appeared in the local news­ paper and it explains why we again honor Marvin A. Antinnes. "Marv Antinnes, right, is receiving a special "Honor Roll" award from the Wilkes Sports Information Director Arthur Hoover for his superior and record-breaking performance in intercollegiate wrestling. Antinnes' four-year record in dual meet competition includes 36 wins and 1 loss. Thirty-three of the 36 wins have been consecutive with 19 of the victories coming via the fall route. He also contributed 146 team points to give the Colonels their current string of 29 straight victories and five consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. "In addition to his dual meet record, Antinnes won the MAC championship crown at 167 in 1959, at 177 in 1960 and in 196L During his freshmen year he won the second place medal at 167. He also holds the NAIA 177-pound wrestling crown for 1960 and two second place trophies from the Wilkes Open Tourney. This season he served as captain of the Wilkesmen."

The Class of 1964, through its officers and trust­ ees, donated to the College Library a Recordak Film Reader, Model MPE-1. It is a desk model with a reflection-type screen. It is ideal for reading newspaper microfilm editions because the magnifi­ cation rate is 19:1. In the era of automation and up-to-date visual aid equipment the Library welcomed the gift. It triggered off a year of visual aid gifts, because a few months later the Library received as a grant from the Association of College and Research Libraries a Microcard Reader. The Library is keenly aware of the future possi­ bilities in automation and modern equipment. These gifts opened a new vista. Wilkes is grateful to the Class of 1964 for this magnificent gift.

The FulbrightHays Act of 1961 offers an even more exciting possibility, providing funds to educational institutions to buttress their efforts to educate effectively both the government-sponsored foreign stu­ dents and the much more numerous group of privately sponsored students. ularity, followed by the natural and physical sciences. Education and agriculture drew fewer students than any other of the broad general fields. Although foreign students were scattered over all fifty of our states and were enrolled in 1,805 colleges and universities, concentrations were evident. The states of California and New York were host to 27 per cent of all foreign students. Thirty-two large private and public universities, each with more than 400 foreign students, enrolled 40 per cent of the total group.

Yet the failure rate of foreign students as gauged by academic criteria is low, 10 to 15 per cent at most, and on the really im­ portant questions — Are you satisfied with your training here? Do you feel your training will lead to a better job? Were you accorded fair treatment in the college you attended and in the community where you lived? — all measurements we have yet devised show a high level of satisfaction among 70 to 80 per cent of those queried. up or improving his own country. But they may also be personal — to make a living, to escape from a difficult situation in his own country, or simply to learn more than he already knows. These goals are, of course, not mutual­ ly exclusive; the individual and the institution may share some of them and often do. But, shared or not, they must all be taken into account in de­ ciding who should be educated and for what purpose. I When we consider that undergraduate degrees require four to five years and graduate degrees at least as long, the miracle is that so many foreign students carry through with their plans, and that, once having arrived here, they have the fortitude to com­ plete the degree. Often they are lonely, no matter how friendly the surround­ ings. Often they are discouraged, as is every student who faces hard­ working and brilliant competitors. And often they are anxious and ill at ease, no matter how long or intense their U. S. experience. Add the dif­ ficulties that a strange language brings and the idiosyncrasies of a new educa­ tional system, and you marvel at these modern-day explorers. It is one thing to read and speak a second language for everyday usage; it is quite another task to compete for marks with nativeborn Americans schooled in use of the language since infancy, untroubled by the need to translate and then retranslate the unfamiliar word or phrase — and all this at a pace that leads one to believe that the instructor must think each new day is his last. Then there is the shock of facing the really puzzling realities of another culture, a culture where it appears to the foreign student that measuring time is more important than using it, where knowing people seems more important than understanding them, and where taking action seems more important than deciding whether the action is appropriate. Anthropologists refer to this as culture shock. The cues to behavior, those elements of the environment which surround us with so comfortable a sense of well-being because we know what we are doing, are suddenly replaced by nagging doubts that no one can fully under­ stand unless he has himself expe­ rienced them. Just as the foreign student is about to conquer and control these symptoms of his mind’s reaction to the new and unfamiliar, he faces them all over again in new form as he prepares to return home. Now he finds that he is overtrained, that in his own country there is neither the equipment to do the job nor the need to have the job done with such careful precision at such heavy expense. He learns that the problems of the host country were not really the same as those of his own and that he must make major con­ cessions in adapting his plans for rev­ olutionizing an industry or changing a teaching method. For the educational institution the acceptance of the foreign student poses other problems. Shall the over­ seas student be given special attention? How do we balance our allocation of resources as we attempt to serve stu­ dents from our own country and our own area and at the same time re­ spond to the importunity of individ­ uals and agencies who want our aid in educating the world? Do we accept students from other countries on the basis of an agreed-upon plan — for example, from a single area of the world in order to increase our pro­ ficiency? Do we give attention to training foreign students in selected fields only? In the United States, the autonomy of educational institutions requires that cooperation in this kind of management be attained only by voluntary agreements. Thus, at the moment, our educational institutions are often competing with one another in the same fields and for nationals of the same countries. Government and private agencies alike seek to use the educational in­ stitutions to accomplish their own aims. When these aims are consistent with university aims, no problem arises. State educational institutions in particular may find it difficult to convince their constituents that new concepts of the limits of service and responsibility need to be accepted, that universities may best serve their local interests by performing national and international service. Is it possible that our conception of service and of the importance of the welfare of all mankind can become broad enough to lead us to accept all those who are qualified to receive training in our institutions without concern for wheth­ er they finally perform their work in the United States, in their home countries, or in any country of the community of free nations? If, as is frequently the case, the more spectacular products of the in­ terchange of persons are quietly over­ looked, then it is easy to understand why the many small but significant changes in outlook and methods es­ cape attention. There also are improvements in the effectiveness of educational inter­ changes to be found on a number of campuses and in a number of com­ munities across our country. For ex­ ample, American students are making serious efforts to overcome their in­ ability to communicate at an effective level with their more politicized foreign student counterparts. This is being done through formal and in­ formal seminars in which selected American students, beginning as fresh­ men, study more intensively their own culture, then the process and prob­ lems of cross-cultural education, and finally an area of the world, familiar­ izing themselves with the problems of student life and the leadership pro­ vided by the students there. As a resource for teaching, the foreign student is being used in an ever-increasing circle of planned pro­ grams. These programs involve highability high school students interested in the social sciences and provide realism for their classroom and extra­ curricular experience. When an Af­ rican student from Northern Rhodesia or Uganda talks about the political future of his country, it is likely to have more impact than when an American does it. At the level of human relationships and social action, some persons have found it possible — often for the first �time — to accept as inconsequential the differences between individuals as accentuated by foreignness, and even­ tually to move toward an affirmation of the importance of our likenesses ir­ respective of race, color, or creed. There seems little doubt that a sub­ stantial share of our concern for racial injustices, and of the urgency which goads us to solve the problem, stems from the reaction of our foreign stu­ dents to our practices of discrimina­ tion — practices that are sometimes imposed on these guests from overseas. Looking ahead into the 1970’s one can be sure that the interchange of students will bring its share of innova­ tions and surprises. The report of the Committee on the University and World Affairs, issued in 1960, saw these changes taking place in four broad general areas: 1. Curricula will change so that American students will be ed­ ucated more and more in courses based on knowledge from world­ wide traditions of history and culture. 2. Numbers of foreign students in higher education in the United States will so increase that few American students will be likely to miss the personal experience of working and living with them. 3. Faculty members of U. S. uni­ versities will spend a sizable por­ tion of their teaching careers in service overseas or in training those who will see service in other lands — Americans going abroad or foreign students study­ ing in the United States. 4. Business executives, the military, professional men, and the com­ munity at large — through travel, through local contacts, and in the performance of their normal duties — will spend a larger proportion of their time dealing with problems that call for knowledge and skill in world affairs. Graduates of universities are al­ ready involved in changing their view­ point from a local and regional one to one that is national and international in scope. In the realm of curriculum changes, for example, the University of California is now operating four " * overseas centers where its students paqt! ivi of selected may, under the guidance -"■j- members ■ ”fromj California and faculty the cooperating university, receive in­ struction that will make them bilinguaL biculturaT, and*probably multi- informed faculty, students, and alumni rally to guard institutional autonomy and excellence against those who would suggest that University “X” should specialize in work with foreign national.

Second class mailing privileges have been authorized at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Subscription — $2.00 Chairman Political Science Department Wilkes College IN FRONT OF CHASE HALL. paqo |3 And so, an institution of higher learning is a seat of wisdom, a light of the world, a minister of faith, and an alma mater of the rising generation. Wilkes is all these things, and you are the richer for its being so. Here at Wilkes, you and you alone should have been your central course of study. Your search should have been — Who am I, Where did I come from, and Where am I going? �■ p Therefore, you ought to remind yourself of your re­ sponsibility to humanity and face as much truth as you can bear, so as to replace innocence with wisdom. Your mind should not be a piece of iron to be laid upon an anvil and hammered into shape, or a block of marble out of which the faculty carves the statue by re­ moving the rubbish, or a receptacle into which knowledge is poured, but as a flame to be fed, as an active being that must be strengthened to think, to dare, to do and — yes — even to suffer. Every man, if he is educated at all, is and must be selfeducated. All a college can expect of you is a posture and an attitude. The whole purpose of traditional learning seems to be to take out any ideas, any values, any discoveries which could open new doorways. Is this what you have been doing? Or have you really exercised your rights as stu­ dents? Someone has aptly said that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are part of the problem and those who are part of the solution. Do you think only in terms of yourself; how much you can make, what can you get out of life? THOSE WHO THINK THAT WAY ARE DEFINITELY PART OF THE PROBLEM. Or are you concerned with the contribution you can make — how much you can give, how much you can put in? PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE PART OF THE ANSWER. But you can’t be part of the answer unless you have a sense of mission. Have you developed a sense of mission? And if you have, do you know it? And if you know it, have you been preparing yourself to live according to that mission? If you have developed a sense of mission, have you recognized where the challenges are? Have you met the challenges of the controversial issues of our times? Or have you been carefully neutral? Political, economic, social, moral, and ethical challenges have multiplied many times. What are some of these challenges which face you. and which give you so much opportunity? The challenges of today are all born of the revolutions of today's world. The American attitude toward revolution has all the ambivalence, so beloved of the psychologist, of our attitude toward our mothers. This, of course, is because the United States as'a nation was born in a revolution, which one might describe, I suppose, as an adolescent revolt. Consequently, we feel a certain obligation to like revolution on principle, having been born in one our­ selves. On the other hand, we are also afraid and suspicious of revolutions. This, no doubt, can be traced back to a suppressed guilt feeling about the treachery to a parent culture which any revolution implies. Our attitude toward revolution, therefore, is a compound feeling of both love and hate, affectionate regard for the infant toddling in our early footsteps and unresolved guilt about our own breakaway. No wonder these challenges cause you moral dilemmas. What are the revolutions that cause you these moral and ethical dilemmas? CYBERNATION A new era of production has begun. This revolution has been brought about by the marriage of the computer and the automated self-regulating machine which results in an almost unlimited productive capacity and which requires progressively less human labor. The science of computers will certainly bring the great­ est change in the whole history of mankind. In the cyber­ nated systems of tomorrow, potentially unlimited output can be achieved by systems of machines which will re­ quire little manpower. To put a single man back into an oil-cracking plant would mean that the whole plant would in effect be junked, since such a man would represent what systems analysts call the "rate-determining" step of the whole process, which cannot be faster than its slowest element When Americans are confronted with this pseudoautonomous technological society, either they deny that it exists or lose themselves in reveries about how it can subserve traditional human ends; and this, in face of the fact that it is already here and out of control. But. is the computer friend or enemy? Will it devalue the human brain or happily free it from drudgery? What are we making these machines for . . . to return to the Helenic concept of leisure in which the Greeks had time to cultivate their minds while these computer slaves do all the labor? Our real problems are concealed from us by our re­ markable prosperity, from our new way of getting rich, which is to buy things from one another that we do not want at prices we cannot pay on terms we cannot meet because of advertising we do not believe. But beneath the superficial manifestations of wealth on the one hand and our fantasies of fear on the other, are moving those great, fundamental, historic forces which will put our institutions to the test. While it is the closest that man has come to transferring his intellectual powers to the memory units of machines, giving them an impressive quantitative advantage, the computer is qualitatively inferior to any school boy. In the long run, the computer is not so much a challenge to man as a challenge for him — a triumph of technology to be subdued. We have been creating a contracting, life-defeating environment, fit only for machines — for our technological society looks on the human environment as movable parts to be scrambled and rearranged, if necessary. Its stress is not on tradition but uniform procedures; not intended for o friendships, but complete strangers. Such an auto­ mated society reduces the autonomy of the individual — he must have the right career, live in the right neighbor­ hood, join the right organization, and yes, even profess the right religion. No wonder only 33% of Americans :see religious influence on the rise and 62% of Americani college students hnd religious influence faltering. What’s the challenge? Can't you see that the new rmoralities and philosophies, appropriate to a t„. technological J era that might help to discern the human possibilities within it, have not emerged? page | 4 When will you realize that man can live without goods and gadgets, but he cannot live without something human and universal that joins him to his fellow man? A civilization in which the human and universal has atro­ phied can relate itself to others only through force, and force is not an enduring mode of relation; for it can al­ ways be broken by force. The moral significance of this technology is its impact on human expectations and attitudes, in the fact that it replaced the authority of the home and the church. Technology has not brought discipline into the world. It has produced a built-in social insecurity which is at the very base of our resentments and sense of dislocation. We have passed from the traditional society where men did not have careers, but duties and a destiny. But, still unarticulated, are ethical codes, ideas of personal re­ sponsibility that made sense, and aesthetic standards that might permit us to control the deadly process of tech­ nological uglification. You must shift from this mechanically expanding economy, lopsided, humanly inadequate, capable of con­ trol in only one direction — going faster — to a more balanced economy with built-in controls and desirable human goals that do justice to human and spiritual needs. Permit me to illustrate. There used to be people with desk computers intervening between the President of the United States, at one end, with his button to blow up the world, and the pip on the radar screen at the other end, a pip that might be Russian bombers or Canadian wild geese. But at each stage, the computers handed out in­ formation outputs that could not be processed by any human being, and so more computers were put in the place of human beings. And now, there is a whole network of computers between the pip on the radar screen and the last, and the only human, namely the President. Is it any spiritual consolation to know that you will have a Harry Truman at the button who will say, “The Hell with it; I’m going to bed.”? Or, is it any spiritual consolation to have a Lyndon Johnson who will pull the plug to save electricity? What a puny substitute to have at the controls of the engines of history — not a moral conscience and spirit­ ual fiber, but one lone hand of man and a horde of face­ less computers. Your challenge is not: Should you re-think the nature of the values within the computer culture; but how soon can you do it? SCIENCE The misinterpreters of science have set the tone for the whole learned world. Their slogan is, "If you can't count it, it doesn’t count." Science has made magnificient contributions to our way of living. The list of its achievements is endless; and its progress has just begun. The continuation of civilization as we know it depends on science, and the continuance of science would seem to depend on our ability to examine this sphere of human activity objectively and relate it to its total human con­ text.- The future of science will be largely a matter of accident unless measures to assure its continuance are attentively sought. page|5 The modem tendency to regard science as somehow apart from the main human currents that surround it is dangerous to its own continuance. The fruits of science are presumed to be morally neutral, the advancement of knowledge is thought desirable, with moral questions arising only when that knowledge is put to use. But the distinction between science and technology is almost wholly unrecognized in our scientific cultural en­ vironment. Most people no longer separate them, as shocking and sobering as that statement may be. Neither scientists nor technologists are working for themselves out of idle curiosity. They accept order from others. How can you strain logic, that they be separated, when 80% of research and development contracts are for weaponry. Hasn’t an ethical judgment been made already? No more can the scientists say that they have no idea what disposition will be made of their work. What kind of high dogma is it that the scientist is neutral on questions of utility because the scientist is addicted to the practice of idle curiosity and only seeking truth? To seek truth as the scientist says he does is a moral judgment which we accept or else someone has tinkered with the laws of logic. Scientists do seek truth; they are objective and openminded; and they have an inquiring mind. But don’t all scholars? Is it because other scholars have philosophies that distort their thinking and scientists haven’t any? But doesn’t everybody, including scientists, have a metaphysics? Every scientist, for example, has a commitment to the reality of the external world. The dis­ tortion comes when the metaphysics is denied. Let me submit to you that, today, science and tech­ nology are not neutral. Not only does their developmentment require vast social and human resources, but they are pursued because their powers for enhancing or de­ grading humanity are recognized. Scientists must not get lost in a mire of platitudes. Appeals to old slogans about integrity prove inadequate where scientists hold great public trust. What is good for science may not be good for mankind. Science is for man, not man for science. It is the business of the world community of science to see to it that governments do not push beyond that point of provocation at which even the most rational nation can be provoked and exasperated to the point of lunacy, where only violence can relieve its feelings. A massive attempt must be made by the world of science to put a soul in science. Science can give man mastery over matter. It can fail to give man control over himself. Science has its distinctive method. It involves experiment — with tools, machines, and chemicals. But you cannot, without a kind of sacrilege, experiment with souls, lives, and honor. However useful science is to investigate the privacy of tiny chambers called atoms, it is all but useless to in­ vestigate the inner and higher life of man. You cannot examine free will in a test tube. Yet, much of what man does for good or evil springs from this inner life of free choice. Nuclear energy can explode with uncontrollable force. But the occasion of its explosion is controlled by men — either by evil men or by good men. �The leading phenomena of our time exhibit a curiously ambiguous character. Science and technology' may blow us up, or it may' usher in the paradise of which man has been dreaming ever since Adam and Eve got kicked out of the first one. What is necessary is a clear delineation between rights and obligations. You must clarify' the role and respon­ sibility of science. Your challenge is a moral one — will you permit this retreat behind the barricades of objectivity because scien­ tists can't make social judgments? Your moral challenge is not will the world of science accept that trust and responsibility to society and face the difficult ethical choices that it entails — not will it? But, how soon? POLITICAL REVOLUTION The third revolution is that of human rights, for which a universal demand is now clearly evident. The civil rights movement in the U.S. is only the local manifestation of a world-wide movement toward the establishment of a social and political setting in which every individual will feel valued and none will feel rejected. The fundamental problems of the industrial revolution have been solved with industrial citizenship for the work­ ers. Even the conservatives have accepted the welfare state. It is conceivable that this statement may serve his­ torians as the majority opinion of the 1950’s; but from the perspective of 1965, it is, to say the least, a very dubious proposition. The phase that we are now entering is im­ poverishment in living. It is poverty that has been rediscovered in the West, not inequality. A kind of poverty that puts you before God and before one another, and which has an altogether unique reward. It is the reward which a sense of reality always brings with it. When one knows he is poor, not in the abstract, but in mind and in the soul, he knows something extremely precious. He has touched things as they' are. But the rewards are not merely' intellectual. They are human. What is pre-eminently at stake in Western civilization today is its human and universal elements. It is the recognition that there is nothing that binds all men into one family that is the prime danger. It is the fragmenta­ tion of humanity' into endless exclusivisms, whether national or cultural or racial or economic, that poses the deepest challenge. The question, then, is whether there is a profound part of your being that you honestly feel you must share with others. The question is whether you feel that you are not complete or happy so long as others are miserable and subhuman. Most certainly it is not a question of “imposing" any­ thing on any'body; what is genuinely human and un­ iversal is never imposed; it is aivaited. It is welcomed. It is embraced. What is non-universal in your civilization, you keep to yourselves. Nobody wants it. You can't impose on anybody. Americans, of course, have learned to deceive their senses. Sermons have been preached, crusades launched, hooks on ethics written, systems of morality devised. whatsoever of how American Negro with no mention i.... ._, es are treated. the senses lie, the conscience- -3 is sure -— When -to sleep. The chief function, then, of the current Negro movement has been to awaken a nation’s conscience. Such an awakening is painful. It may take years to peel away the layers of self-deception that shut out reality. But there are moments during this process when the senses of an entire nation become suddenly sharper, when pain pours in, and the resulting outrage turns to action. But. what kind of action? Let’s see. Although the President sent yellow roses, only con­ dolences went to the family of Negro Jimmy Lee Jackson who died from brutal police clubbing. But churches in Boston, Washington and throughout the nation have scheduled fund-raising drives and taken special collections to aid the bereaved family of white Reverend Reeb. The outpouring of sympathy was a whole­ some portent. But let’s look at it from the viewpoint of the colored people of the world. Do you turn into avenging angels only when a white man shames us by laying down his life in defense of human dignity and justice? What a cheap way of exer­ cising the passions of indignation. Let's illustrate it in a different way. The emergence of the nun as a cultural phenomenon is something to be reckoned with. Today, no self-respecting demonstration would take place without a black habit. In recent years, writers have chosen a variety of figures as keys with which to analyze American culture. For a while it was the Jew as culture-hero. Then it was the Negro as culture-hero. Now, the nun is the culture-hero. Each of these figures is supposed to act as the American con­ science, and a touchstone of justice. Without doubt, the idea of the nun as culture-hero will take a lot of work before it catches on. A few nun novels (preferably written by Jews or Negroes) will have to hit the best-seller list. And if I appear crass and cynical: Is this supposed to be novacaine for the soul? This thin film of indignation, drained of all spiritual values, is as blank as a hospital corridor to the peoples in Asia and Africa living in human despair, human destitu­ tion, and human deprivation. The white man is eternally torn between the right that he knows and the wrong that he does. Unless the Negro can be drawn productively into the mainstream of American life, civil rights becomes a travesty. A right that is effective only when not needed is scarcely a right at all. The simple truth is that you can't be for the Bill of Rights for yourself and your friends. One of the greatest disasters that happened to modern civilization was for democracy to inscribe “liberty” on its banner instead of "justice." Because liberty was con­ sidered the ideal, it was not long until some interpreted it as meaning freedom from justice. The social unjustice of our era is that tragic aftermath of democracy’s overemphasis on freedom as the right to o whatever you please. This is not so. Freedom is not a moral end in itself. Freedom means the right to do what you ought, and ought implies law, and law implies justice, and justice implies conscience. The freedom of white out erners to maintain their Southern way of life has page|G been curtailed. The freedom of sick addicts to mug others to get the price of a fix has been curtailed. The natural freedom of individuals would end in anarchy. Else why the Ten Commandments? The secret of happiness is in the courage to pursue freedom, yes, but happiness is never in the fear of con­ sequences. but rather in the striving for accomplishment to raise man to a new height. It appears that middle class security has set in. Happiness has been redefined, not in terms of a quest to raise man, but of a suppression of ideals. Yes, freedom for the Negroes has its dangers. There is no doubt about that. But this flame of freedom must be kept burning in the souls of the oppressed. These people have an honorable place in the company of the free. How can America promise them peace without freedom? Peace is not the cessation of marches, or demonstrations, or violence, but a product of justice. The mistake that we make is to think that peace is something directly sought. It is not. Rather peace is in­ directly achieved. It is a by-product, like the bloom on your cheek. First you have health, then the glorious bloom. And in like manner, first you have justice, and then peace. But to seek peace without justice is only to put rouge on your cheek — and the first good rainstorm of selfish­ ness will wash it away. This national selfishness is the very betrayal of a nation at peace. What's your challenge? It isn’t a political challenge. It's not political courage that is lacking. It is really your moral conscience that keeps nagging you and grating your very soul. Your challenge isn't to look for a ready-made phil­ osophy to blunt the cutting edge of revolt — like instant mashed potatoes for dinner. Your challenge is not: Can you learn to live in another man's skin? But how soon? EPILOGUE Perhaps I’ve come up swinging from the floor in some of my rambling comments. But moral haymakers can be awfully sobering, can’t they? The fearsome thing about genuine moral problems is that they do not vanish however you look at them. There should always be some tension, a fruitful and creative one, between what we are and what we wish to be. The tension between what a man does and what he ought to do to fulfill his meaning in life is inherent in the human condition. Without this sense of meaning, a person falls into an existential vacuum. This boils down to your own individual philosophy — your reason for being. You must stand for something or you will fall for anything. And, you must stand for something important or you’ll be trapped by something not so important. If you slink into your chair of smugness thinking these moral dilemmas beg their own answers, then you have wasted four years at Wilkes. And if you think these ethical questions are silly, and should never have been asked in the first place, then you’ve wasted your own time on earth. And now for you who are to be honored today and tomorrow. For almost everybody, a moment of celebrity ji iiijii 7 arrives, even though briefly. It may be a birthday, a wedding, a promotion to a new job, a graduation, some­ thing which puts us, for the moment, in the spotlight of our own particular world. Whatever the cause, it is all too easy to be carried away on the flood tide of adulation, and lose all sense of one’s unimportance. When this happens, it is time to look at the other side of the coin. However bright the spotlight, however great the temp­ tation to strut, remember one thing: THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO HUMILITY, THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO TRUE GREATNESS. I like that old story of the eastern potentate, who being sorely afflicted with boredom, was advised that an ex­ change of shirts with a man who was perfectly happy would cure him. After a long search for such a man, he finally found one -— but lo — the perfectly happy fellow had no shirt. For your record, I congratulate you. You should be happy. But don't ever forget your shirts — your moral shirts: To temper science with a conscience To tame automation with a heart and To tincture society with a soul. What is your mission: will it be to alter man's direction, or will it be to slightly retard his rate of drift? If you concern yourself with the current and not the waves, and can make the sun shine on frightened hearts, then you, like your College, will become a seat of wisdom, a light of the world, a minister of the faith, and an alma mater to the rising generation.

Further details will appear in future issues of the Alumnus. �Nir President, it is a privilege and honor to present on behalf of the faculty, ad­ ministration and Board of Wilkes College, this candidate for the Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. The College has established criteria for honorary degrees consistent with Us primary mission, the development of a sound intellect, and an awareness of the associated social responsibilities imposed by education in a free society. The hon­ orary degrees awarded by the College are intended to call the attention of Wilkes stu­ dents, past, present, and future, the faculty, and the community at large, to individuals who personify these qualities. Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell, President of the University of Pennsylvania, has attained recognition and distinction as a scientist, an educator, and a community leader. He has made outstanding contributions to his students, his university, his community, and his nation in each of these fields. As a scientist, he has served as a National Re­ search Council Fellow at the California Institute of Technology, and as a professor of Physics at Princeton University and at the University of Pennsylvania. While on leave of absence from the University of Pennsylvania from 1942 to 1946, he served as Director of the University of California Division of War Research and the U. S. Navy Radio and Sound Laboratory in San Diego. He also served on the Committee on Undersea Warfare of the National Research Council and received the Medal for Merit for his work in the area of submarine warfare. In September, 1958, he received the Navy Distinguished Pub­ lic Service Award for his outstanding contributions to the Department of the Navy in the field of scientific research and development. In his field of physics, he has authored a number of textbooks concerned with general physics and the fields of electricity and electromagnetism, and atomic physics. Dr. Harnwell’s accomplishments as a scholar and researcher have only been matched by his record of leadership in education. He has served as the President of the University of Pennsylvania since 1953, and has brought that university to a position of eminence shared with few others in the entire world. In 1960 and 1961, at the request of the government of Iran, Dr. Harnwell served as an advisor in the establishment of Pahlavi University patterned after American in­ stitutions of higher learning. He continues to serve as chairman of the Educational Con­ sultative Council for that university. Dr. Harnwell’s leadership in the area of education is further attested to by his appointment to the Boards of the Franklin Institute. Haverford College, and his appoint­ ment as a Trustee of the Carnegie Fund for the Advancement of Teaching. He has re­ ceived a number of honors from professional and educational societies as well as international honors from the government of the Republic of Ivory Coast. He is honored by membership in the Society of the Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Pi Sigma, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Beta Alpha Psi, Sigma Tau Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega, and has served in many offices and roles of scientific and professional organ­ izations. The following introduction was made by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, who presented Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell for the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters Despite the obvious involvement in both his professional scientific field and the wider field of education, Dr. Harnwell has performed a major leadership role in expand­ ing the horizons of the relationship between a private university and the community in which it operates. Under his leadership, the University of Pennsylvania has participated in the accomplishments of the Greater Philadelphia Movement. He has demonstrated outstanding leadership in helping the community realize its potential and exercise its strength while using the vision and wisdom necessary for such efforts to have lasting impact. He is among the leaders of the Greater Philadelphia Movement and has estab­ lished, as no other university president, the commitment that higher education must make to the growth and development of the communities of which they are a part. It is especially fitting that a man with this diverse contribution should be honored by an institution that has also grown with and served its community in like manner. , Dr. Harnwell has been the recipient of eighteen honorary degrees. We hope that this Honorary Degree may be especially meaningful to him because it is given in consequence of his leadership in establishing constructive relations between Town and Gown. One of man’s unique attributes is his ability to form specialized organizations of his fellow beings, and these organizations have played essential roles in the evolution of his societies. The earliest of these organizations must have been those directed toward his protection and his preservation from predation, particularly that of his fellows; and such groups as families and clans grew into political and military organizations before the dawn of history. Protection through mutual association from practical and im­ mediate danger cannot have greatly antedated the need felt to propitiate the vast and terrifying forces of the unknown; and leaders were expected to ex­ tend their defense to the embodied and disembodied forces of nature, and religious organizations shaped themselves about kings and states. This is very ancient prehistory indeed, but recent millennia have seen very little improvement in man’s individual craftsmanship or in his talents in the evolution of these early organizational functions. The rise in the number of human species and the evolu­ tion of other organizational forms have influenced the older group functions in many ways; but man’s ability to govern himself, to protect himself from his fellows, or to set standards of relationships in dealing with his fellow men and himself has left no impres­ sive record of achievement.

Our attention at the moment is on the evolu­ tion of organization in the area that we call educa­ tion. Archaeology furnishes us with evidence of schools and even intimate details of their conduct from the earliest phases of urbanization and specialization of employment in Egypt and �Mesopotamia. Education as an instrument for the inter­ communication between generations of men has tended to be a conservator of culture, summarizing and slowly responding to the forces of social evolution, though re­ cently it has begun to take some leadership in innovation. Language, literature, religion, history, politics, and law have long figured as the knowledge of the elite; and even from the earliest times, some small opportunity has been found for the utilitarianism of mensuration, numeration, architecture, medicine, and the mysterious phenomena of nature. Aesthetics was influential a few thousand years ago for it was responsible for including symmetries of form and harmonies of both eye and ear as a basis for geometry and music. Concepts of precision are again not totally unrelated to these or the platonic concept of the ideal, but the tangible world stimulated this earlier intro­ duction of science less than did the Babylonian observa­ tion of the skies, for order was more obvious in the heavens than it was close at hand. Indeed our culture of today owes an extraordinary debt to astronomy, for the advent of science in a modern sense centers upon Tycho Brahe, the observer; Keppler, the analyst; Copernicus and Galileo, the intuitive seers; and Newton, the synthesizer who systematized our knowledge of the immediate corner of the universe in which we live. More importantly, such men as these evolved the methods of science: the inter­ play of induction and deduction, the procedural definition of objective concepts, and the significance of precise numerical measurement and expression. The evolution of physics has gone hand in hand with that of astronomy. Puzzles presented by terrestrial phenomena have been re­ solved by observations of the stars; and the greatest present enigmas of astronomy are also those of physics as well and may be resolved by laboratory observation on the earth and the readjustment of our present theories. Though we may not be able to foretell the effect of visit­ ing the moon and other planets, it would be a brash man indeed who would contend in advance that there would be no profit in doing so. Of the factors influencing the evolution of higher educa­ tion today, the most important that has come from with­ in these institutions themselves is the extension of the scientific method; namely, the attempt to define the ob­ jects of discourse in a clear, unambiguous, and manipula­ tive way, universally acceptable as the basis for mutual understanding and then to extend our intellectual horizons with rigorous rationality monitored by frequent recourse to controlled observation and experiment to ensure the correctness of our conclusions. This is not to denigrate or subordinate those vital human concerns which are intract­ able to such an approach, but rather to recognize our growing skill in adapting the scientific method to many new areas. Nor is it to conceive of two coexistent con- trasting cultures, but simply to recognize that some areas of our concerns are amenable to the methods of science and some are not. We are persuaded to elect a man. to political office, or to eschew evil, or to follow a leader into battle on the appeal of emotional incitement and rhetorical adjuration. No differential equation ever per. suaded a man to give his life for a friend. However, the steady increase in the mastery of man over his environment, indeed the very concept of ordered progress: phy. sically, intellectually, and possibly even eventually morally, hinges critically upon the objective, universally, definable concepts and relationships which characterize the scientific method. A college or university without science is an anachron­ ism today. The largest university in the world, which is halfway around the world from Pennsylvania, has 170,000 students and 149 affiliated colleges with very few lab­ oratories and little appreciation of their function. It is governed by three supreme councils — each of which can veto the other — which stand like three meshed cog­ wheels, completely immovable. There are also three seg­ ments of faculty, all of whom are part-time participants, some lecturing on an eminence so great that questions by a student are deemed inappropriate; some setting the examinations, whose books sell well since they contain what these men know; and some correcting the exam­ inations, and these not infrequently disagree with both the lecturers and the examiners as to the answers deemed correct. The ultimate accolade of a printed diploma, be­ cause the chancellor can no longer sign 25,000 a year, is a mere cachet rather than a mark of significant attainment. The growth and evolution of colleges and universities have, however, been much more influenced by forces from without than from within. One reason for this is their eleemosynary character, for since they are not self-deter­ mining economically as are business and governmental organizations, their strength is dependent upon the ex­ ternal resources furnished for their purposes. Another reason is, of course, the rising tide of students from a rapidly broadening social base which flows in short gen­ erations through these institutions bringing with it the enthusiasm and enterprise of youth and the newest of steady cultural currents as well as transient eddies. Thirdly, the social conscience is strong in the academic community and the opportunity to extend the resources in men and knowledge of these institutions to the service of society in many promising directions is great. In con­ sequence, there is a steady movement outward of men and ideas and a return flow of reaction upon higher education providing both the spur of stimulating action as well as the restraining bridle of realism within the existing social context, pagit 11*' The economic influences deserve a special word of notice for they are more clearly evident from within than from without these institutions. The costs are as in any other enterprise: those of attracting and retaining the human participants in a competitive market; secondly, the expenses incident to conducting the programs in which they are engaged; and thirdly, the provision and main­ tenance of the plant in which the operation is conducted. ‘’Low cost education,” which is a phrase frequently heard, properly must mean low quality in one or more of these cost components though its more common popular con­ notation is that of a low cost to the student participating. The philosophy that higher education benefits society as a whole as well as the individual student participating is already well accepted and tuition income is supple­ mented by gifts, grants, contracts, etc., from individ­ uals, corporations, foundations, and government at all levels. Society properly deems itself better served by subsidizing the education of those members of the ris­ ing generation who demonstrate the ability and motiva­ tion to acquire and make use of it. This is accomplished at one extreme by admitting at a low individual cost any­ one who applies and an early weeding out of a large fraction of these students as unpromising, or on the other hand by a careful program of screening for admission and the provision of financial aid for those who require it to attend the institution. The latter is more economical of the time of students and teachers and of total funds if possibly less immediately politically appealing. The com­ plexities of the economic factor on higher education are not adequately indicated by this brief discussion but its influence upon growth and evolution is obviously of the greatest consequence. The external influences other than economic ones upon the programs of colleges and uni­ versities and their service to society are a still larger and more varied subject. The earliest tradition of all forms of educational institutions has been that of instruction, which has been generally directed toward the rising generation. More recently, developments — largely in sci­ ence but also in the general social stirring of the larger, more homogeneous states of Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries — led in the 19th Century to the tradition of research and the advancement of knowledge as well as to a more objective and dispassionate scholarship which has been of great influence during the past century. Most recently, the rather definite external boundaries of the more enterprising institutions, particularly in the great urban centers of the United States, have tended to dis­ solve; and intimate and seminal relationships have been established with other organizations of our society. This is not the participation of immature students from the political havens of campuses in local political movements, which has tended to characterize the educational institu- patji! In tions in countries less central to the mainstream of 20th Century scientific cultural development. It is rather a mature and professional interface developing between education and its social utilization across which the appropriate several functions of each are maintained but stimulating interaction takes place. In short, the modern objective of the large urban institution is the advance­ ment and diffusion of knowledge and the securing of such a grasp and comprehension of this as to enable us to develop it usefully in the amelioration of man’s life and the conditions under which he lives it. Under the leadership of an able and farsighted Pres­ ident, Wilkes College is an excellent example of these new developments in higher education. Quoting from President Farley’s 1964 Report: “In 1936, when I first began my work with you, rel­ atively few of our young people considered a college education to be either attainable or desirable. Few of our citizens were sufficiently optimistic to consider the pos­ sibility of an economic renaissance based upon diversi­ fied modern industries, nurtured by, and nurturing, new opportunities for cultural and intellectual satisfactions. "Fortunately the difficulties confronting the community also aroused community leaders whose roots were in the community and whose welfare depended upon the econ­ omic stability of the region. At first these leaders made separate and isolated attempts to create new jobs and a new economy. Ultimately they recognized that a united effort was necessary if a dynamic economy were to re­ place the waning coal economy. "These community developments may seem alien to a report on Wilkes College. They are, however, closely related to the growth of the College, for the College has participated in these developments and has benefited from them. "During and immediately following the war those men and women responsible for Wilkes College recognized that the College could not grow unless a new economy was developed in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Because of this realization there developed an experiment in "Town and Gown" relations which has been inspiring and fruit­ ful. As a result of this awareness members of the facultv and administration have sought ways and means of participating in and encouraging constructive community efforts. In consequence of their desire to initiate and en­ courage community developments, the Philharmonic Orchestra was formed; the Institute of Municipal Govern­ ment was created; the Fine Arts Fiesta was assisted; and leadership was given to the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee which was initiated by the Greater Wilkes- �Barre Chamber of Commerce. In its latest community effort the College established a Graduate and Research Center. It is anticipated the Center will attract and serve modern industries dependent upon research and upon the continuing education of their scientists, engineers, and management. “The experiment in “Town and Gown” relations is well underway. It has been fruitful to both “Town” and “Gown.” We believe it will be even more fruitful in the years ahead.” We at the University of Pennsylvania share enthu­ siastically in this point of view and arei endeavoring to make some proportional impact upon iour large community. The University of Pennsylvania had the advantage among Colonial universities of the influence of a multi­ talented leader in Benjamin Franklin who intimately united in his own character knowledge and application; who was as free as any man of his generation from the restrictions of the zealot and who assessed knowledge in terms of its usefulness. Our professional school which initiated the “university” concept in the United States was that of Medicine, which this year celebrates its 200th birthday. This is a discipline which is most intimately human and utilitarian as well as becoming increasingly scientific and socially beneficial. We have had a long tradition of practical cooperation with external organizations on our campus, from union library catalogues, institutes of local and state govern­ ment, to all fields of the health and physical sciences. Faculty members have served in government in all cap­ acities and at all levels. They are known intimately as physicians, economists, engineers, and proponents of area studies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Most recently we have involved ourselves in two types of projects closely related to our circumstances in the heart of great unintegrated urban complex leached by successive flows of immigrants and emigrants, with the accompanying dissolution of standards, mores, local selfrespect, and the amenities of more stable and developed communities. This is the outstanding challenge to urban institutions of higher education today to adapt their abilities to the amelioration of social and economic con­ ditions brought on in a sense by the agricultural and industrial revolutions to which their previous research and development contributed so greatly. One of our jprojects, known as The West Philadelphia Corporation, iss a junction with our immediate educational •’ -a work with the Redevelopment Authority and neighbors to Departments of Health, Welfare, Safety, and the City ( Planning; the schools, both elementary and secondary' as well as private enterprise and business and housing at all levels to stimulate the return of a community congenial to our neighbors and ourselves within which citizens, both those connected with our institutions and others, may enjoy the maximum advantage from the city and minimize the disadvantages that have come with rapid growth and the maladjustments which adverse forces have entailed. The other project goes farther afield than our University City in West Philadelphia and is directed toward the enlisting of academic resources of the entire Delaware Valley to stimulate the economic wealth of a large and resourceful area which had become somewhat complacent in its response to the changing patterns of economy and employment. To accomplish this, leading citizens of the community and educational institutions along the Dela­ ware have associated themselves together in a University City Science Center and Institute to draw from the re­ sources of ideas in these institutions to stimulate the raw material of people to engage in enterprises which will use these resources most effectively in the stimulus of the economic and industrial welfare of the area. This has been done elsewhere in a somewhat less calculated way and many other communities are engaged at various phases of similar undertakings. In outstanding scientific and technical leadership, the resources of industry and ingenious people, and in a national climate favoring the support of urban enterprise and betterment, the auspices are most favorable and the promises are great. These are not the concepts or the occupations of tra­ ditional education, but the pace of social change is not such that tradition should be the measure of propriety in America today. As Gunnar Myrdal has said, the man whose span of life is normal does not die today in the same era in which he was born. He cannot look to the patterns established by earlier generations but must have the courage, enterprise, and ingenuity to weave his own. Our colleges and universities are vast storehouses not only of the lore of earlier generations, but also of the most recent products of laboratories and research. They are reservoirs upon which people may draw, not lowering the level of their contents but further stimulating their re­ placement. Wilkes College and my university are each in the right place and at the right time and enjoy an entente with their neighbors and their organizations of all sorts which opens avenues for educational innovation that offer a bright future for communities that can grow in health and strength through such cooperative endeavors. nagn112 �F ourth Annual Alumni Particularly enjoyed by many alumni was the forum­ type program of each seminar session, where both familiar faculty members such as Dr. Hugo Mailey,Dr. Harold Thatcher, Dr. Stanko Vujica, and others well-known for many years appeared with newer Wilkes personnel such as Dr. William Bliss, Mr. Stanley Gutin, and Dr. Julian Ripley. Many alumni commented that such an arrangement enabled them to become acquainted with the second generation of college faculty, as well as to renew friendships with the figures of their own undergraduate days.

The frequent allegation that college graduates tend to ignore the major developments of their society once they enter the post-college world was firmly refuted by the success of the Fourth Annual Wilkes Alumni Seminar. Close to two hundred persons are estimated to have attended the May 15 sessions, which were devoted to the theme of "Issues and Contro­ versy —1965" Nine seminar sessions, meeting from mid-morning till late afternoon, gave alumni the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the vital and sometimes disturbing contemporary problems facing nations and individuals. Philip D. Jones, '54, served as General Chairman of the Seminar. fiaqn Highlight of the seminars, of course, was the pre­ sentation of varied viewpoints by the forum partic­ ipants, who spoke on poverty, population explosion, American diplomacy, ethics, voting, behavior control, and science in the service of man. Two to three fac­ ulty members and alumni opened each session with a review of major points regarding each issue, and alumni responded with questions and discussions — often spirited, occasionally heated — about the con­ troversial aspects of the problems. Both faculty and audience participants later expressed satisfaction at the benefits of the give-and-take. Following the seminar sessions was the dinner featuring Dr. Farley’s report to the alumni and projec­ tion of planned physical and student expansion by 1980. The extent and the scope of this projected de­ velopment caused as much after-dinner discussion aS the discussions that followed the seminar sessions earlier. Remarks were given by Philip Jones, ’54; Chairman, and Gordon Roberts, '60, Director of Alumni Relations. Toastmaster was Fred Davis, '52. Forum members for the seminar sessions themselves included Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, Dr. Alvan Bruch; and Dr. Eugene Hammer, who presented the forum on "Automation and the Right to Work;" Dr. Charles B. Reif, Attorney Charles L. Casper, and Mr. George Elliot, forum members for “The Problems of an In­ creasing Population;’’ and Mr. Welton G. Farrar, Mr. Robert Werner, and Dr. Jaroslav G. Moravec, whose subject was "Poverty and its Varied Implications.” These groups presented the morning sessions. Presenting the afternoon sessions were Dr. Harold Thatcher and Dr. Harold E. Cox, speaking on “American diplomacy in Southeast Asia;" Dr. Stanko Vujica, Dr. William H. Bliss, and Mr. Robert Capin, '50, whose subject was “Ethics in Our Society: Fiber or Fabrica­ tion;" while Dr. Isadore Krasno, Mr. Alfred S: Groh, '41, and the Rev. Benjamin Jacobson spoke on "Morality in a Free Society." Another afternoon seminar dealt with the voting rights controversy, with Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, Mr. Fred Roberts, '58, and Attorney J. Harold Flannery, Jr., '55, serving as the forum participants, and still another considered “Behavior Control: Presumption or Prac­ ticability?" Reviewing this issue were Messers. Joseph H. Kanner, '49, and Chester Colson. Dr. Peter Corey, '51. Dr. Julian A. Ripley, Dr. Bronis Kaslas, and Mr. Stanley S. Gutin rounded out the after­ noon with their seminar on "World Order: Science and the Accommodation of Man.” page|15 �Peace Corps Senegal has meant being a physical educa­ tion teacher and basketball coach at the Lycee de Ziguinchor. This position has been the source of my most reward­ ing experiences. WILLIAM J. MULFORD, ’64 SEME GM r ■ ’ I: * V is located on the northwestern coast of Africa. It was formerly part of French West Africa. Senegal has a population of three million people, the majority of which are Moslems. It is about the size of Nebraska. The climate is semi-tropical, with a three to four month rainy season. Farming is the main occupation, with peanut raising accounting for ninety percent of Senegal’s economy. ***** To me, Peace Corps Senegal has meant many things — things that are, or were, interesting, unusual, educational, rewarding, and at times disheartening and discouraging. Peace Corps Senegal has meant Dakar, the capital of Senegal, which in appearance and character is that of a modern European rather than an African city. With its population of 300,000 and its modern architecture, it is known as the "Paris of Africa.” Contrasting with Dakar's physical appearance and its other signs of advancement are the large slum areas, which unfortunately are found in nearly all large cities. Also in stark contrast to the beauty of the city are the blind, the crippled, and the beggars, young and old, that are to be found along the streets and avenues. As in all "tourist cities,” Dakar is seemingly filled with peddlers and souvenir salesmen. They sell everything from handsome ebony carvings to genuine carved ivory combs— which, upon closer examination, look exactly like molded plastic, right down to the mold marks. Peace Corps Senegal has also meant sharing a spacious, well-furnished — all the conveniences of home — apart­ ment with two other volunteers, one from Maine and the other from California. Although our apartment isn’t in keep­ ing with the usual "Peace Corps Image,” we three have adapted ourselves to this luxurious form of living. paijB 117 The classes at the school range from grade six to college freshman. I have about thirty hours of classes per week and have basketball practice after classes. Peace Corps Senegal has meant having 7 a.m. gym classes where the students and I were still not enough awake to care to play basketball or soccer. These classes and the contacts with the students have been very interesting, humorous, and rewarding. Sports have an appeal to almost all youth and my students were no exception. The United States’ performance in the past Olympic Games, especially in basketball, was an asset to my effectiveness in teaching and coaching. I was surprised to learn how much these students fol­ lowed the happenings in America, not only in the sports events, but many aspects of American society. Of course, not all of their opinions were based on fact. I’ve been asked literally hundreds of questions about the U.S.A. I’ve always run into some difficulty trying to explain to the movie goers in my classes that New York isn't all Em­ pire State Building, Chicago isn’t filled with gangsters, and Texas is positively not filled with cowboys and Indians. As I’ve already mentioned, events in the U.S. are well noted over here, but the one thing that almost always comes up in any of the discussions I've had with students or acquaintances is the late President Kennedy. The state­ ment that I heard, shortly after my arrival here, from an old man will give an example of the impact he made over here. Somewhat sadly the old man said, “President Johnson is a good man, but the great President is dead.” This is but one example of the respect that these people have for the late President Kennedy. Even people who live in what we call “bush country or up-river” have heard of and know about him. Peace Corps Senegal has meant meeting and talking to, in addition to many Senegalese, people from other African countries, English, Canadians, Italians, French, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, and other Volunteers from all over the United States. I’ve learned a great deal from meeting these different peoples; learned of them and their countries; learned of the “other view” of the United States from them. It is sur­ prising when one gets an "external picture of the United States.” Yes, Peace Corps Senegal has meant many things to me. I’ve learned a great deal from my students and friends, much of which I never would have unless I had come here. Next month I’ll be changing assignments. I'll be leaving the school and my teaching to join another volunteer who is building a school in the northern part of the country, un­ der the U.S. "School to School Program.” This almost surely means that I'll again have to explain that; “New York isn't all Empire State Buildings, Chicago isn’t filled with gangsters, and Texas no longer has cow­ boys and Indians roaming freely over the plains.” I'm anxious to go, though, because it will mean meeting new people and sharing new experiences. If the past months are any forecast of what is to come — I'm looking forward to my remaining months of Peace Corps Senegal. �[M © FRED W. SMITHSON, ’64 I I The Peace Corps is now an established fact. The early accusations which were leveled against the organization have been disproven and the Corps is accepted by Amer­ ican critics and by foreign governments and their peoples. Since the philosophy of the Peace Corps and the rea­ sons why a healthy, sane, intelligent, young American should ever want to leave all the comforts and luxuries of his home to wander away and work in a strange, dark, forbidding land have been thoroughly explained in news­ papers and magazines, I will simply try to describe a routine day. Of course, there are a million and one var­ iations to my story; but, in the main, with its dullness, and at times excitement, it is a typical day. My work is with the Ministerio de Agricultura which has formed a special division, the Dirrecion de Economia Agraria, with offices in the various Departamentos or States. I work directly with an agricultural engineer in the Peruvian Andes, the town of Huaraz. Each morning I arise at seven thirty; and, if I need a shave. I heat some water on my little electric hot plate. (I use the same heater to prepare drinking water.) In order to get to the bathroom, I get dressed, walk down the flight of stairs leading to the offices, and go out to the parking lot behind the building. Located here is a small, comparatively modern bathroom with toilet and sink. I take my own roll of toilet paper because I have never been able to adjust to newspapers, which everybody uses. In one corner of the bathroom is a pile of ‘'used" news­ papers. (This is enough to knock all the romance out of the Peace Corps.) Finally I walk five blocks to the main plaza to the restaurant in which I have pension. I get three meals a day for twenty dollars a month. (I earn one hundred dollars per month.) Generally, I eat with the engineer. We might have eggs, or sandwiches (a common breakfast); or, if it has been a bad week in the local markets and there are no eggs or meat, we will have bread and butter with coffee. This is the cleanest pension in Huaraz, and I have been sick only once from the food. After breakfast we hop into our pick-up and head north to observe crop conditions, to check some cost of production figures, and to talk with the compesinos about forming an agricultural cooperative. This last task is my job. When it comes time to explain what a co-op is, I have a great deal of difficulty, because the compesinos do not understand Spanish. They are Quechua-speaking Indians. At last, after some embarrassment, I manage to find one person who understands Spanish. He will act as my interpreter and I begin to explain about co-ops.. After an hour of explanation, nobody understands. This is called frustration. We return to Huaraz at two in the afternoon, just in time for lunch. Lunch is a typical four-course meal — an entrada, a soup, the main course, and dessert. Before eat­ ing, everyone wipes his utensils with a napkin. The main course might be "mandonguito,” a composition of potatoes and cow intestines. It is highly seasoned and tasty. During the meal people at the other tables occasionally clear their throats and spit on the floor. I am always thankful that we do not have pigs walking under the tables as in some sierra restaurants. In the afternoon there is generally nothing to do. I might read, or if it is not raining (we are just getting out of the rainy season) I go outside and play "futbol norteamericano” with some of the local boys. In the evening I sometimes have a date for the movies and then have dinner about nine. Sickness has hit me hard at times. The number of times I have had dysentery is uncountable. Food poisoning put me in bed for over a week. Pneumonia put me in the hos­ pital for a month. My normally negative TB skin reaction has turned positive, (f now have to take medicine for a full year.) I survived my little illnesses (they seem little now), I survived two car accidents, and I guess I will survive my last year in the Peace Corps. I have no intention of re­ turning home until I terminate in the normal two years. There are times when it seems that I am doing nothing. At other times I might even become frustrated with the Peruvians, especially when I walk down the street and hear whispered “Death to the Gringo." When I heard this 1 boiled up inside, but a young Indian girl who had heard it also came up to me and said, "Don't listen to them. They are fools. We like you. Stay here and work with us." The Peace Corps is great, and I’m staying. paijB 118 Dfi, FARLEI AWARDS FIRST WILKES DEGREES A milestone was reached in the history of Wilkes College during the Eighteenth Annual Commencement.

As improved communications and growing interdependence are forced upon us by the advances of science and technology, the psycho­ logical barriers that separate us create increasing tensions. While science and technology bring men of all back­ grounds into closer relationships, psy­ chological forces push men away from one another. The tensions arising from Alumni Staff Gordon E.

Each year I start and end this quest with misgivings for I am aware of the inadequacy of words, just as I am also aware of the in­ fluences that they exert upon our thoughts and actions. In spite of my growing doubts, I speak to you from a conviction that education and intel­ ligence are required in ever-increasing portions if we are to resolve the dilem­ ma that man has created for himself. By intelligence, he has broken the physical boundaries that in previous centuries hemmed him in. By breaking these physical barriers, he has created the possibility of a finer life for all mankind, but, unfortunately, the breaking of these barriers also jeop­ ardizes his civilization. In these new conditions ignorance and prejudice threaten his survival. They will con­ tinue to threaten his future until he applies the same intelligence to breaking the man-made barriers that he has applied to breaking the natural barriers.

Were we an ignorant and backward people, we would not recognize the nature of our dilemma. We have ac­ cess, however, to psychological and sociological knowledge which can give us insight and understanding. They can do this, however, only if we use our minds and cultivate our spirits to translate the doubts and frustrations of our situation into constructive chan­ nels. If we accept the challenge of our current dilemma, we can hope for its resolution. If we fail to accept this challenge, we can expect catastrophe. To some degree, the psychological dilemma that confronts us is beyond our small powers of resolution; but, to a greater degree, the resolution of this dilemma depends upon us. If we are to be persons of education and intel­ ligence, we must not only recognize the nature of the challenge, we must meet it with constructive action. ]_N this modern world as men are forced into closer relations, the com­ munication of ideas and thoughts be­ comes of ever-increasing importance. Therefore, it may be that the ability to express our ideas clearly and suc­ cinctly may be a key to our personal success and to the survival of our civilization. This communication may well depend upon the ability of men to understand one another’s inner thoughts and deeper aspirations. Need­ less to say. such understanding is not possible where clear communication is not assured. �There are two aspects of communica­ tion: one is the ability to express one s self clearly; the other is the willingness and ability to comprehend the mean­ ing of those who wish to communicate with us. Both of these capabilitiesthe ability to express a thought clear­ ly, and the ability to grasp a thoughtare products of education. Without either ability a person cannot consider himself educated. Because communica­ tion is a two-way process, education must cultivate mental receptivity and clarity of expression. In spite of ever-increasing doubts as to my own capabilities to convey a message of meaning to you, I speak from a growing conviction that educa­ tion and intelligence are the only hope that we have for resolving the conflicts and dilemmas that surround us. Years ago, following the First World War, two English writers stated our problem succinctly. H. G. Wells wrote that “Man is engaged in a race between education and disaster,” and Somerset Maugham remarked that “Man has al­ ways found it easier io fight than to learn the multiplication table.” Both of these men in the 1920’s foresaw the problems that we now face. I wonder, however, if either of them foresaw the added compulsion that would be im­ posed upon us by th? release of atomic .-?wer and oy the impact of improved numc ions and transportation upon peoples of different cultures, different colors, different religions, and different nationalities. LN THE past FORTY yeabs, science and technology have brought us closer together physically than anyone could have dreamed was possible. Most of the technological achievements that you take for granted have occurred within the past fifty years. In the 1920’s, the first flight across the ocean was made. It took thirty-three and one half hours and attracted great atten­ tion. It seemed a miracle to those who listened for reports of the flight. About the same time, communication by radio became possible and not until the 1940’s was television developed for practical use. In the 1920’s, planes that traveled 120 to 150 miles an hour seemed to be superb. Today they look, in retrospect, like primitive and min­ iscule attempts by man to release himself from the surface of the earth. I can well remember visiting the Newark Airport in the early 1930’s and observing the fabric-covered planes which then seemed to be so advanced and so tremendous. Today they would not even be used for flight training. They were possibly less intricate than the Piper Cub that some of you know today. Today, as always, there is a desire on the part of some men to live as men have lived in the past. There is a de­ sire to avoid the changes and uncer­ tainties that are thrust upon us by acts of nature and of men. In the past, most great changes were thrust upon men by convulsions of nature. Today, the great changes that are thrust upon us are most frequently the product of men’s minds. Although these man­ made changes are tremendous, they are not yet as violent nor as wide­ spread as the acts of nature. Man’s control of nature increases steadily. In consequence, it now seems that he may ultimately have within his grasp an unbelievable control of the great forces of nature. Man cannot hope to use these newlyacquired powers beneficially unless he first gains control of himself. To at­ tain this control of self he must de­ velop greater intelligence and under­ standing. To develop both intelligence and understanding, he must rely upon education. T J. ODAY YOU ARE SEEKING MORE and spiritual inertia.

It is apparent in our ideological conflicts; it shows itself in the clashe of nations; it is responsible, in some part, for the fighting in Korea, Viet­ nam, the Congo, and Cyprus; it jg brought home to us by riots in New York and Rochester, in Birmingham and St. Augustine. All are manifesta­ tions of the dilemma resulting from our unwillingness, or inability, to adapt our patterns of thought, of cus­ tom, and of behavior to the new civil­ ization that is emerging from the old. Unfortunately, the ideological strug­ gle of our times distracts attention from the true nature of the scientific revolution in which we are involved. Fascism threatened the existence of the free nations in the 1940’s; there­ after Communism posed a greater threat. Our reaction to both has been motivated by fear and hatred rather than by conviction and intelligence. We have been so concerned by the threat of these opposing ideologies that we have offered blind opposition rather than an intelligent and humane alternative. We have failed to recog­ nize the flexibility and dynamism of our own institutions and of the ideals upon which they are founded. Because of fear and hatred, we sometimes op­ pose Communism by adopting methods which strengthen it. Nazism was de­ veloped to oppose Communism; in reality, it probably strengthened it. There are many of us who suspect that Communism and Fascism strengthen one another by the violence of their reactions. In this search, it is my abiding hope that you may so develop your minds that intelligence and wis­ dom will guide your lives and enable you to fully understand and resolve the many problems that lie before you. Only enlightened men of great purpose and integrity can hope to resolve the dilemma that has been created by man’s increasing control of natural powers and by his parallel failure to understand and control the forces that exist within men. Whether we acknowl­ edge it or not, science and technology change our world and we welcome the material changes and the advantages that they offer. Unfortunately, we simultaneously resist the psycholog­ ical and spiritual adjustments that In human thought, as in physics, must accompany material change We fail to recognize that unless man every action produces a comparable changes with his environment, the new reaction. Perhaps someday we will environment that he is creating may discover that there is a law which destroy him. governs human reactions. If so, it may well be this: “Like begets like; mod­ For a few moments I wish to dis­ eration begets moderation; extremism begets extremism; trust begets trust; cuss with you the psychological prob- fear begets fear,” and so on down the Jems resulting from this confrontation line through all of the emotions that of material progress with intellectual govern human relations. education. The purpose of this discussion is to suggest that the way to fight either Communism or Fascism is to make our own system more effective and more productive. If we believe in our system we should have faith that in strengthening it we meet the challenge of both Communism and Fascism. The answer to their challenge will never be given in terms of military might. When we are concerned with human aspirations and human thoughts, pow­ er alone offers no answer. Neither as­ pirations nor thoughts can be re­ strained by military might. They may be repressed for a decade or a century, but ultimately the aspirations of men break forth and institutions are created which enable men to satisfy their hopes and aspirations. 1 There is always some reluctance to acknowledge the true nature of the conflicts that confront us. This hesita­ tion results from the sacredness of some of our institutions and the desire to adhere to accustomed patterns of thought. We have sometimes mistaken condemnation of others as the sole measure of personal loyalty. We seem afraid to admit that our opponent is ever right and that we are sometimes wrong. If we are to be intelligently loyal to our nation and our society, we must concern ourselves with weak­ nesses that need correction and must maintain the strengths that we pos­ sess. We need to recognize that our country for several centuries offered hope to the people of many nations. Millions, inspired by this hope, came to our shores. Today we no longer offer so much hope to the peoples of the world; instead we are envied and feared, and sometimes we are re­ spected. Our problem, in the midst of international tension, ideological con­ flict, and scientific revolution, is to re­ new the vitality of our ideals and our institutions. In the turbulent times of the twentieth century we cannot re­ main static; we must move ahead if our nation is to maintain its vigor and its influence throughout the world. Devotion to our nation and to the aspirations of all people requires not the maintenance of a static position; it calls for a vigorous attack upon our own problems and a rededication to our greatest ideals. Religion is another matter that we sometimes hesitate to consider for fear that we may re-awaken the re­ ligious conflict and bigotry of past pnqi! 5 centuries. We know that religious con­ flict and bigotry still exist, but in many areas of the world these conflicts have been ameliorated by man’s recognition that people of other religious groups are groping, as are we, for an under­ standing of man’s relation to his Crea­ tor, to the world, and to the universe. Fortunately, an increasing number of men feel that if religion concerns it­ self with spirit rather than with form, it can create trust and understanding. Where religious belief is tempered with sympathy and concern for one’s fellow, religion may become the greatest force for unity and understanding. We find it difficult to understand the thinking of those within our own cul­ ture who adhere to values and prac­ tices that differ from our own. We must, therefore, recognize the greater difficulty that confronts persons of differing cultures when they strive to communicate with one another. Our comprehension of this problem is fur­ ther accentuated by the difficulties that we encounter as we strive to adapt ourselves to the new culture we are creating. Until we can adapt to our own changing culture, and until we resolve the doubts and conflicts that exist within us, how can we hope to resolve the doubts and conflicts of the emerging peoples. By reducing the barriers of space, science and technology have brought together men of different cultures. Neither science nor technology, however, enables men of different cultures to communicate and to understand one another. Al­ though cultures and bias may separate groups and nations, all men have com­ mon aspirations. It is possible that the recognition and acceptance of these common aspirations may provide a bridge to understanding. All men have much in common; and, in recent years, the aspirations of the freest and most advanced peoples of the world have become the aspirations of all who have caught a glimpse of the material pros­ perity of the free peoples. the political and economic institutions upon which their present welfare is based. They may sympathize with the desires of the disadvantaged, but they do not comprehend how these less for­ tunate people can gain in one life span the well-being that the more advanced peoples have gained through centuries of groping. It is difficult for the advanced people to bridge the cultural gap of centuries. It is impossible, however, for the dis­ advantaged to bridge this gap without the help of the more fortunate. If we are to maintain any stability and are to continue the cultural evolution of the past, those who enjoy the advan­ tages of an established social order must recognize and acknowledge the tremendous psychological and cultural adjustments that now confront the backward people. Possibly we can be helped in this by first recognizing the psychological adjustments that we must make if we are to move success­ fully from the static and known past into the changing and unknown future. If we are unsettled and disturbed by the demands of our changing society, can we not recognize and sympathize with the greater psychological and cultural adjustments that are required of less-advanced peoples as they move into the mainstream of the twentieth century? ./although we have some aware­ of the material changes that sci­ ence and technology offer us, we are much less aware of the psychological, social, and spiritual changes that must accompany them. Because of our ten­ dency to adhere to the prejudices, the mores, the thoughts, the values, and the standards of the past, we frequent­ ly fail to make the personal and group changes that are required if man is to keep abreast of the material changes in his environment. As educated per­ sons, one of our responsibilities is to reduce the lag between scientific and cultural progress so that uncertainty It is understandable that any aware­ and misunderstanding may not destroy ness of the benefits and privileges of our civilization. Let each of us assume an advanced civilization will create some responsibility for reducing the desire in the minds of those who have gap that must always exist between just learned of these advantages.

They used the same ness �tools and methods of production and lived as had their forebears 2,000 years ago. They were isolated from the great developments that were taking place throughout the Western world, but at the same time, they were caught in the nationalistic and' ideological strug­ gles of our time. Because of this in­ volvement these people have in the past decade made new contacts with both the East and the West. In con­ sequence, they now grasp for the material advantages offered by both. Unfortunately’, they fail to recognize the spiritual and intellectual founda­ tions upon which our material progress has been based. They have not yet recognized that only’ where there is a social conscience do men help one another, and only where men help one another are the advantages of education and science passed on from one generation to another.

Like all Utopians they failed to recognize that human nature continues to function in all social, economic, and political systems. They did not recognize that the most comp-". ■Pelhng force in improving human nature is social conscience, a desire to help one’s neighbors. Although little evidence of social conscience was revealed by the crea­ tors of the industrial revolution, this conscience was always implicit in the two great religions of the West — Christianity and Judaism. Although submerged by selfishness and greed this latent conscience became a grow­ ing force in the lives of individuals and in the nature of our society. Because of the growth of conscience, acts of cruelty which were accepted in the past are looked upon with abhorrence today. Buchenwald is a part of our times but so is our abhorrence of it. The Marshall Plan, which enabled Europe to recover, is also a part of our times even though we sometimes doubt the effectiveness of our sharing. If we contrast the spirit of Buchen­ wald with the spirit of the Marshall Plan we can surely find reason for hope. Although social conscience has never been adequate, it has become an increasing force during the past century. It has combined with science and technology to give a new charac­ ter and a new sense of obligation to Western civilization. In a sense, the great problems that now confront us are problems of conscience. Without conscience we would recognize neither injustice nor inequity. Our conscience no longer allows us to blind ourselves to the needs of others. Our self-interest convinces us that it is better for each member of pur ssociety to be self-sustaining.

The building is expected to be ready for operation in September 1965. The land — facing the south end of the river common at the corner of South River, West South and West River Streets — was donated to Wilkes College in 1947 by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences. Under the chairmanship of the late Gilbert S. McClintock, the trus­ tees initiated the concept of the Center and the growth of its cultural functions. The Center became a reality when the College received an initial contribution of $480,000 from donors interested in the creative and performing arts. Work at the site has been helped by the best weather conditions for construction in the last seventeen years. To date, excavation is complete, concrete forms are poured, footings are in place, the stage and workshop area are com­ pletely enclosed, sewer lines and water pipes are laid. When completed, the Center will overlook the river­ bank with a view toward the Market Street Bridge and Kirby Park. The building will contain an upper lobby and plaza deck, exhibition gallery, workshop, as well as costume, makeup, and storage facilities, a Green Room, offices, and rehearsal halls. The 500-seat theater (the in­ timate tradition of Chase Theater) will use a flexible proscenium stage, with a trap area and a moveable fore­ stage and orchestra pit. The building will be entirely air conditioned. Cen­ tury Lighting Company is designing a 10-scene preset electronic lighting control system, which will be operated from a booth at the rear of the auditorium. A portable stage manager’s control console, located backstage, is being prepared according to specifications by Donald Oenslager, noted Broadway stage designer and theater consultant. Chandeliers, carpets, tiles, and other special furnishings are being selected by Leigh Allen, New York interior de­ signer. No building on campus has been as eagerly awaited by the community or the alumni. Continued encourage­ ment over the years has given us the opportunity “to keep in our souls images of magnificence.” The Wilkes College Center for Performing Arts is a public testament to the private conscience, an expression of the creative imagination in its constant quest for truth. paiji! 17 'J • Groundbreaking for Arts Center.

Are they pricing themselves out of many students’ reach? Or can—and should—students and their parents carry a greater share of the cost of higher education? Can state and local governments appropriate more money for higher education? Or is there a danger that taxpayers may “revolt”? Does the federal government—now the third-largest provider of funds to higher education—pose a threat to the freedom of our colleges and universities? Or is the “threat” groundless, and should higher education seek even greater federal support? Can private donors—business corporations, religious denominations, foundations, alumni, and alumnae—increase their gifts to colleges and universities as greatly as some authorities say is necessary? Or has private philanthropy gone about as far as it can go? There is no set of “right” answers to such questions. College and university financing is complicated, confusing, and often controversial, and even the administrators of the nation’s institutions of higher learning are not of one mind as to what the best answers are. One thing is certain: financing higher education is not a subject for “insiders,” alone. Everybody has a stake in it. �TUITION continued fory rooms, brought the nation’s public institutions of higher education a total of S415 million—one-tenth of their entire current-fund income. By comparison: In private universities, the median charge was $1,038. In private liberal arts colleges, it was $751. In private teachers colleges, it was $575. In private junior colleges, it was $502. In 1961-62, such student payments brought the private colleges and universities a total of $1.1 billion—more than one-third of their entire current-fund income. From all students, in all types of institution, America’s colleges and universities thus collected a total of SI.5 billion in tuition and other educational fees. y?\Y0 nation puts more stock in maximum college attendance by JL\J its youth than does the United States,” says an American report Are tuition charges becoming too burdensome? to an international committee. “Yet no nation expects those receiving higher education to pay a greater share of its cost.” The leaders of both private and public colleges and universities are worried by this paradox. Private-institution leaders are worried because they have no desire to see their campuses closed to all but the sons and daughters of well-to-do families. But, in effect, this is what may happen if students must con­ tinue to be charged more than a third of the costs of providing higher education costs that seem to be eternally on the rise. (Since one-third is the average for all private colleges and universities, the students’ share of costs is lower in some private colleges and universities, con­ siderably higher in others.) Public-institution leaders are worried because, in the rise of tuition and other student fees, they see the eventual collapse of a cherished American dream: equal educational opportunity for all. Making students pay a greater part of the cost of public higher education is no mere theoretical threat; it is already taking place, on a broad scale. Last year, r°J l*1C StatC un‘versities and land-grant institutions surveyed by , , y3' S°'ernraent reported that, in the previous 12 months, they had had to increase tthe ’ tuition and fees charged to home-state students. More than half had raised - ——d their charges to students who came from other states. AN the rise in tuition rates Ibe stopped—at either public or private colleges and universities? " ' got^Larae'n"'T th“k Sh°Uld nOt be; tllat tuition should’ faC‘’ they are now pay” for those kids^'cars with™' Park1"8 IotS’ You and 1 are be,Pin8 t0 Asked an editorial in a^X^X^ ’ “Why should taxpayers, most of whom have not had the advantage of college education, continue to subsidize students in state-supported universities who have enrolled, generally, for the frank purpose of eventually earning more than the average citizen?” An editor in Omaha had similar questions: “Why shouldn’t tuition cover more of the rising costs? And why shouldn’t young people be willing to pay higher tuition fees, and if necessary borrow the money against their expected earnings? And why shouldn’t tuition charges have a direct relationship to the prospective earning power—less in the case of the poorer-paid professions and more in the case of those which are most remunerative?” Such questions, or arguments-in-the-form-of-questions, miss the main point of tax-supported higher education, its supporters say. “The primary beneficiary of higher education is society,” says a joint statement of the State Universities Association and the Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. “The process of making students pay an increasing proportion of the costs of higher education will, if continued, be disastrous to American society and to American national strength. “It is based on the theory that higher education benefits only the individual and that he should therefore pay immediately and directly for its cost—through borrowing if necessary. . . . “This is a false theory. ... It is true that great economic and other benefits do accrue to the individual, and it is the responsibility of the individual to help pay for the education of others on this account— through taxation and through voluntary support of colleges and uni­ versities, in accordance with the benefits received. But even from the narrowest of economic standpoints, a general responsibility rests on society to finance higher education. The businessman who has things to sell is a beneficiary, whether he attends college or not, whether his children do or not. . . .” Says a university president: “I am worried, as are most educators, about the possibility that we will price ourselves out of the market.” For private colleges—already forced to charge for a large part of the cost of providing higher education—the problem is particularly acute. As costs continue to rise, where will private colleges get the income to meet them, if not from tuition? After studying 100 projections of their budgets by private liberal arts colleges, Sidney G. Tickton, of the Fund for the Advancement of Education, flatly predicted: “Tuition will be much higher ten years hence.” Already, Mr. Tickton pointed out, tuition at many private colleges is beyond the reach of large numbers of students, and scholarship aid isn’t large enough to help. “Private colleges are beginning to realize that they haven’t been taking many impecunious students in recent years. The figures show that they can be expected to take an even smaller proportion in the future. Or should students carry a heavier share of the costs? CONTINUED �TUITION continued “The facts are indisputable. Private colleges may not like to admit this or think of themselves as educators of only the well-heeled, but the signs are that they aren’t likely to be able to do very much about it in the decade ahead.” What is the outlook at public institutions? Members of the Asso­ ciation of State Colleges and Universities were recently asked to make some predictions on this point. The consensus: They expect the tuition and fees charged to their home-state students to rise from a median of $200 in 1962-63 to $230, five years later. In the previous five years, the median tuition had increased from $150 to $200. Thus the rising-tuition trend would not be stopped, they felt—but it would be slowed. 0 [qpJHE only alternative to higher tuition, whether at public or private JL institutions, is increased income from other sources—taxes, gifts, PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS: 1.4% of their income comes from the states. grants. If costs continue to increase, such income will have to in­ crease not merely in proportion, but at a faster rate—-if student charges are to be held at their present levels. What are the prospects for these other sources of income? See the pages that follow. 22.9 per ©ent /colleges and universities depend upon many sources for their financial support. But one source towers high above all the rest: the American taxpayer. The taxpayer provides funds for higher education through all levels of government—federal, state, and local. Together, in the most recent year reported, governments supplied 44.4 per cent of the current-fund income of all U.S. colleges and universities— a grand total of $3.2 billion. This was more than twice as much as all college and university stu­ dents paid in tuition fees. It was nearly seven times the total of all private gifts and grants. By far the largest sums for educational purposes came from state and local governments: $1.9 billion, altogether. (Although the federal PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS: 39.7% of their income comes from the states. government s over-all expenditures on college and university campuses were large—nearly $1.4 billion—all but $262 million was earmarked for research.) j^tates have had a financial interest in higher education since the O nation’s founding. (Even before independence, Harvard and other colonial colleges had received government support.) The first state uni­ versity, the University of Georgia, was chartered in 1785. As settlers moved west, each new state received two townships of land from the federal government, to support an institution of higher education. But the true flourishing of publicly supported higher education came after the Civil War. State universities grew. Land-grant colleges were founded, fostered by the Morrill Act of 186Z Much later, local govern­ ments entered the picture on a large scale, particularly in the junior­ college field. Today, the U.S. system of publicly supported colleges and universities is, however one measures it, the world’s greatest. It comprises 743 in­ stitutions (345 local, 386 state, 12 federal), compared with a total of 1,357 institutions that are privately controlled. Enrollments in the public colleges and universities are awesome, and certain to become more so. As recently as 1950, half of all college and university students attended private institutions. No longer—and probably never again. Last fall, the public colleges and universities enrolled 60 per cent—one million more students than did the private institutions. And, as more and more young Americans go to college in the years ahead, both the number and the proportion attending publicly controlled institutions will soar. By 1970, according to one expert projection, there will be 7 million college and university students. Public institutions will enroll 67 per cent of them. By 1980, there will be 10 million students. Public institutions will enroll 75 per cent of them. fqpJHE financial implications of such enrollments are enormous. Will state and local governments be able to cope with them? In the latest year for which figures have been tabulated, the current­ fund income of the nation’s public colleges and universities was $4.1 billion. Of this total, state and local governments supplied more than $1.8 billion, or 44 per cent. To this must be added $790 million in capital outlays for higher education, including $613 million for new construc­ tion. In the fast-moving world of public-college and university financing, such heady figures are already obsolete. At present, reports the Commit­ tee for Economic Development, expenditures for higher education are the fastest-growing item of state and local-government financing. Be­ tween 1962 and 1968, while expenditures for all state and local-govern­ ment activities will increase by about 50 per cent, expenditures for higher education will increase 120 per cent. In 1962, such expenditures repre­ sented 9.5 per cent of state and local tax income; in 1968, they will take 12.3 per cent. Professor M.M. Chambers, of the University of Michigan, has totted up each state’s tax-fund appropriations to colleges and universities (see list, next page). He cautions readers not to leap to interstate compari­ sons; there are too many differences between the practices of the 50 states to make such an exercise valid.

The average was a whopping 24.5 per cent. Can states continue to increase appropriations? No one answer will serve from coast to coast. Poor states will have a particularly difficult problem. The Southern Regional Education Board, in a recent report, told why: “Generally, the states which have the greatest potential demand for higher education are the states which have the fewest resources to meet the demand. Rural states like Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and South Carolina have large numbers of college-age young people and relatively small per-capita income levels.” Such states, the report con­ cluded, can achieve educational excellence only if they use a larger pro­ portion of their resources than does the nation as a whole. A leading Western educator summed up his state’s problem as fol­ lows: “Our largest age groups, right now, are old people and youngsters approaching college age. Both groups depend heavily upon the pro­ ducing, taxpaying members of our economy. The elderly demand statefinanced welfare; the young demand state-financed education. “At present, however, the producing part of our economy is com­ posed largely of ‘depression babies’—a comparatively small group. For the next few years, their per-capita tax burden will be pretty heavy, and it may be hard to get them to accept any big increases.” But the alternatives to more tax money for public colleges and uni­ versities—higher tuition rates, the turning away of good students—may be even less acceptable to many taxpayers. Such is the hope of those who believe in low-cost, public higher education. ■jnivERY projection of future needs shows that state and local governments must increase their appropriations vastly, if the people’s demands for higher education are to be met. The capacity of a gov­ ernment to make such increases, as a California study has pointed out, depends on three basic elements: 7,429,000 + 1,830,000 +315% 1) The size of the “stream of income” from which the support for 29,809,000 + 3,721,000 +20.5% higher education must be drawn; Massachusetts. 16,503,000 + 3.142,000 +23.5% 2) The efficiency and effectiveness of the tax system; and Michigan 104,082,000 + 6,066,000 + 6% 3) The will of the people to devote enough money to the purpose.

How the available tax funds will be allocated will depend, m large measure, on how the people rank their demands, and how insist ently they make the demands known. Louisiana.... Maine,.. Maryland. “No one should know better than our alumni the importance of having society invest its money and faith in the education of its young people,” Allan W. Ostar, director of the Office of Institutional Research, said recently. “Yet all too often we find alumni of state universities who are not willing to provide the same opportunity to future genera­ tions that they enjoyed. Our alumni should be leading the fight for adequate tax support of our public colleges and universities. “If they don’t, who will?” fqpjo some Americans, the growth of state-supported higher educaX lion, compared with that of the private colleges and universities, has been disturbing for other reasons than its effects upon the tax rate. One cause of their concern is a fear that government dollars inevitably will be accompanied by a dangerous sort of government control. The fabric of higher education, they point out, is laced with controversy, new ideas, and challenges to all forms of the status quo. Faculty members, to be effective teachers and researchers, must be free of reprisal or fears of reprisal. Students must be encouraged to experiment, to question, to disagree. The best safeguard, say those who have studied the question, is legal autonomy for state-supported higher education: independent boards of regents or trustees, positive protections against interference by state agencies, post-audits of accounts but no line-by-line political control over budget proposals—the latter being a device by which a legislature might be able to cut the salary of an “offensive” professor or stifle another’s research. Several state constitutions already guarantee such autonomy to state universities. But in some other states, college and university administrators must be as adept at politicking as at edu­ cating, if their institutions are to thrive. Another concern has been voiced by many citizens. What will be the effects upon the country’s private colleges, they ask, if the publichigher-education establishment continues to expand at its present rate? With state-financed institutions handling more and more students— and, generally, charging far lower tuition fees than the private insti­ tutions can afford—how can the small private colleges hope to survive? President Robert D. Calkins, of the Brookings Institution, has said: “Thus far, no promising alternative to an increased reliance on public institutions and public support has appeared as a means of dealing with the expanding demand for education. The trend may be checked, but there is nothing in sight to reverse it. . . . “Many weak private institutions may have to face a choice between insolvency, mediocrity, or qualifying as public institutions. But en­ larged opportunities for many private and public institutions will exist, often through cooperation.... By pooling resources, all may be strength­ ened.... In view of the recent support the liberal arts colleges have elicited, the more enterprising ones, at least, have an undisputed role for future service.” Fiscal 1963 Change from 1961 $11,161,000 -$ 70,000 - 0.5% Montana Nebraska.... 17,078,000 + 1,860,000 +12.25% Nevada 5,299,000 + 1,192,000 +29% New Hampshire 4,733,000 + 627,000 +15.25% New Jersey... 34,079,000 + 9,652,000 +39.5% New Mexico.. 14,372,000 + 3,133,000 +28% New York.... 156,556,000 +67,051,000 +75% North Carolina 36,532,000 + 6,192,000 +20.5% North Dakota. 10,386,000 + 1,133,000 +12.25% 55,620,000 +10,294,000 +22.5% Ohio Oklahoma... 30,020,000 + 3,000,000 +11% 33,423,000 + 4,704,000 +16.25% Oregon Pennsylvania. 56,187,000 +12,715,000 +29.5% 7,697,000 + 2,426,000 +46% Rhode Island.

SEEM TO spend half my life on the jets between here and Washing­ ton,” said an official of a private university on the West Coast, not long ago. “We’ve decided to man a Washington office, full time,” said the spokesman for a state university, a few miles away. For one in 20 U.S. institutions of higher education, the federal govern­ ment in recent years has become one of the biggest facts of financial life. For some it is the biggest. “The not-so-jolly long-green giant,” one man calls it. Washington is no newcomer to the campus scene. The difference, today, is one of scale. Currently the federal government spends between SI billion and S2 billion a year at colleges and universities. So vast are the expenditures, and so diverse are the government channels through which they flow to the campuses, that a precise figure is impossible to come by. The U.S. Office of Education’s latest estimate, covering fiscal 1962, is that Washington was the source of SI.389 billion—or nearly 19 per cent—of higher education’s total current-fund income. “It may readily be seen,” said Congresswoman Edith Green of Ore­ gon, in a report last year to the House Committee on Education and Labor, “that the question is not whether there shall be federal aid to education.” Federal aid exists. It is big and is growing. fnpjHE word aid, however, is misleading. Most of the federal govemJL, meat’s expenditures in higher education—more than four and a PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS: 18.6% of their income comes from Washington. half times as much as for all other purposes combined—are for research that the government needs. Thus, in a sense, the government is the pur­ chaser of a commodity; the universities, like any other producer with whom the government does business, supply that commodity. The re­ lationship is one of quid pro quo. Congresswoman Green is quick to acknowledge this fact: “What has not been ... clear is the dependency of the federal govern­ ment on the educational system. The government relies upon the uni­ versities to do those things which cannot be done by government person­ nel in government facilities. It turns to the universities to conduct basic research in the fields of agriculture, defense, medicine, public health, and the conquest of space, and even for managing and staffing of many governmental re­ search laboratories. “It relies on university faculty to judge the merits of proposed research. It turns to them for the management and direction of its foreign aid programs in underdeveloped areas of the world. qpHE full RANGE of federal-government relationships with U S highJL er education can only be suggested in the scope of this report. Here are some examples: Land-grant colleges had their origins in the Morrill Land Grant Col­ lege Act of 1862, when the federal government granted public lands to the states for the support of colleges “to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts,” but not excluding science and classics. Today there are 68 such institutions. In fiscal 1962, the federal government distributed $10.7 million in land-grant funds. The armed forces operate officers training programs in the colleges and universities—their largest source of junior officers. Student loans, under the National Defense Education Act, are the major form of federal assistance to undergraduate students. They are administered by 1,534 participating colleges and universities, which select recipients on the basis of need and collect the loan repayments. In fiscal 1962, more than 170,000 undergraduates and nearly 15,000 gradu­ ate students borrowed $90 million in this way. “The success of the federal loan program,” says the president of a college for women, “is one of the most significant indexes of the im­ portant place the government has in financing private as well as public educational institutions. The women’s colleges, by the way, used to scoff at the loan program. ‘Who would marry a girl with a debt?’ people asked. ‘A girl’s dowry shouldn’t be a mortgage,’ they said. But now more than 25 per cent of our girls have government loans, and they don’t seem at all perturbed.” Fellowship grants to graduate students, mostly for advanced work in science or engineering, supported more than 35,000 persons in fiscal 1962. Cost to the government: nearly $104 million. In addition, around 20,000 graduate students served as paid assistants on governmentsponsored university research projects. Dormitory Ioans through the college housing program of the Housing and Home Finance Agency have played a major role in enabling col­ leges and universities to build enough dormitories, dining halls, student unions, and health facilities for their burgeoning enrollments. Between 1951 and 1961, loans totaling more than $1.5 billion were approved. Informed observers believe this program finances from 35 to 45 per cent of the total current construction of such facilities. Grants for research facilities and equipment totaled $98.5 million in fiscal 1962, the great bulk of which went to universities conducting scientific research. The National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administra­ tion, and the Atomic Energy Commission are the principal sources of such grants. A Department of Defense program enables institutions to build facilities and write off the cost. To help finance new classrooms, libraries, and laboratories, Congress last yearpassed a $1,195 billion college aid program and, said President Can federal dollars properly be called federal “aid”? �1 FEDERAL FUNDS continued 9 __ 38% of Federal research funds go to these 10 institutions: U. of California Mass.

To strengthen the curriculum in various ways, federal agencies spent approximately $9.2 million in fiscal 1962. Samples: A $2 million Na­ tional Science Foundation program to improve the content of science courses; a $2 million Office of Education program to help colleges and universities develop, on a matching-fund basis, language and area-study centers; a $2 million Public Health Service program to expand, create, and improve graduate work in public health. Support for international programs involving U.S. colleges and univer­ sities came from several federal sources. Examples: Funds spent by the Peace Corps for training and research totaled more than $7 million. The Agency for International Development employed some 70 institutions to administer its projects overseas, at a cost of about $26 million. The State Department paid nearly $6 million to support more than 2,500 foreign students on U.S. campuses, and an additional $1.5 million to support more than 700 foreign professors. ffi2>)UT the greatest federal influence, on many U.S. campuses, comes 22) through the government’s expenditures for research. As one would expect, most of such expenditures are made at univer­ sities, rather than at colleges (which, with some exceptions, conduct little research). In the 1963 Godkin Lectures at Harvard, the University of California’s President Clark Kerr called the federal government’s support of research, starting in World War II, one of the “two great impacts [which], beyond all other forces, have molded the modern American university system and made it distinctive.” (The other great impact: the land-grant college movement.) At the institutions where they are concentrated, federal research funds have had marked effects. A self-study by Harvard, for example, revealed that 90 per cent of the research expenditures in the university’s physics department were paid for by the federal government; 67per cent in the chemistry department; and 95 per cent in the division of engineering and applied physics. TT5 this government-dollar dominance in many universities’ research IL budgets a healthy development? After analyzing the role of the federal government on their campuses, a group of universities reporting to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching agreed that “the effects [of government ex­ penditures for campus-based research projects] have, on balance, been salutary.” Said the report of one institution: The opportunity to make expenditures of this size has permitted a research effort far superior to anything that could have been done with­ out recourse to government sponsors. ... “Any university that declined to participate in the growth of spon­ sored research would have had to pay a high price in terms of the quality of its faculty in the science and engineering areas. ...” However, the university-government relationship is not without its irritations. One of the most irksome, say many institutions, is the government’s failure to reimburse them fully for the “indirect costs” they incur in connection with federally sponsored research—costs of administration, of libraries, of operating and maintaining their physical plant. If the government fails to cover such costs, the universities must—often by drawing upon funds that might otherwise be spent in strengthening areas that are not favored with large amounts of federal support, e.g., the humanities. Some see another problem: faculty members may be attracted to cer­ tain research areas simply because federal money is plentiful there. “This . . . may tend to channel their efforts away from other important research and ... from their teaching and public-service responsibilities,” one university study said. The government’s emphasis upon science, health, and engineering, some persons believe, is another drawback to the federal research ex­ penditures. “Between departments, a form of imbalance may result,” said a recent critique. “The science departments and their research may grow and prosper. The departments of the humanities and social sci­ ences may continue, at best, to maintain their status quo.” “There needs to be a National Science Foundation for the humani­ ties,” says the chief academic officer of a Southern university which gets approximately 20 per cent of its annual budget from federal grants. “Certainly government research programs create imbalances within departments and between departments,” said the spokesman for a lead­ ing Catholic institution, “but so do many other influences at work within a university.... Imbalances must be lived with and made the most of, if a level of uniform mediocrity is not to prevail.” FT1HE concentration of federal funds in a few institutions—usually 2L the institutions which already are financially and educationally strong—makes sense from the standpoint of the quid pro quo philoso­ phy that motivates the expenditure of most government funds. The strong research-oriented universities, obviously, can deliver the commod­ ity the government wants. But, consequently, as a recent Carnegie report noted, “federal support is, for many colleges and universities, not yet a decisive or even a highly influential fact of academic life.” Why, some persons ask, should not the government conduct equally well-financed programs in order to improve those colleges and uni­ versities which are not strong—and thus raise the quality of U.S. higher education as a whole? 90% of Federal research funds go to the 25 opposite + these 75: Pennsylvania Slate U.

Says the CFAE: “Fifteen years ago nobody could safely have predicted the level of voluntary support of higher education in 1962. Its climb has been spec­ tacular. ... “So, on the record, it probably is safe to say that the potential of voluntary' support of U.S. higher education has only been scratched. The people have developed a quenchless thirst for higher learning and, equally, the means and the will to support its institutions adequately.” EX LUMNI AND ALUMNAE will have a critical role to play in determining whether the projections turn out to have been sound or unrealistic. Of basic importance, of course, are their own gifts to their alma maters. The American Alumni Council, in its most recent years com­ pilation, reported that alumni support, as measured from the reports of 927 colleges and universities, had totaled SI96.7 million—a new record. Lest this figure cause alumni and alumnae to engage in unrestrained self-congratulations, however, let them consider these words from one of the country’s veteran (and most outspoken) alumni secretaries: “Of shocking concern is the lack of interest of most of the alumni.... The country over, only about one-fifth on the average pay dues to their alumni associations; only one-fourth on the average contribute to their alumni funds. There are, of course, heartwarming instances where participation reaches 70 and 80 per cent, but they are rare.. ..” Commenting on these remarks, a fund-raising consultant wrote: “The fact that about three-fourths of college and university alumni do not contribute anything at all to their alma maters seems to be a strong indication that they lack sufficient feeling of responsibility to support these institutions. There was a day when it could be argued that this support was not forthcoming because the common man simply did not have funds to contribute to universities. While this argu­ ment is undoubtedly used today, it carries a rather hollow ring in a nation owning nearly two cars for every family and so many pleasure boats that there is hardly space left for them on available water.” Alumni support has an importance even beyond the dollars that it yields to higher education. More than 220 business corporations will match their employees’ contributions. And alumni support—particu­ larly the percentage of alumni who make gifts—is frequently used by other prospective donors as a guide to how much they should give. Most important, alumni and alumnae wear many hats. They are indi­ vidual citizens, corporate leaders, voters, taxpayers, legislators, union members, church leaders. In every role, they have an effect on college and university destinies. Hence it is alumni and alumnae, more than any other group, who will determine whether the financial health of U.S. higher education will be good or bad in years to come. What will the verdict be? No reader can escape the responsibility of rendering it.

M.A. O F DEAN OF MEN VALUE WILKES COLLEGE Farley, members of the faculty, students about to be graduated, friends. Being with you these many years and especially on this occasion, has been and is now, a high honor and a rare privilege. Since the invitation was extended to me to occupy these moments in this important chapter of your life, I have hoped that I might say something to you that will be both useful and real. Certainly if I can say something real it will be useful. It is also a certainty that if what I say is not real, it will not be useful and will not stay with you long. By something real I mean something of which you will say: “the man told me some­ thing about myself.” When a man sees what is real he has a look at what is a part of himself. r. Our theme is “Something of Value.” In tackling this subject I think of my father and his story about little Willie, a classmate of his. The teacher asked Willie to define gender. “Yes’m,” said Willie. “Gender is divided into masculine and feminine — masculine is tem­ perate and intemperate and feminine is frigid and torrid.” This evening I shall try to be tem­ perate in my remarks, if you will not be frigid in your discussion of them! Subscription — $2.00. liiiiji: 13 �Each year at occasions such as this, the air is rife with advice. If you are familiar with Pickwick Papers, you will recall that Sam Weller, on being addressed by a stranger as, “my friend,” was at once highly suspicious. “You are one of the adwice gratis order,” Weller thought to himself, “or you wouldn’t be so fond of me all of a sudden.” This “adwice gratis,” this hortatory counsel of elders, is much in vogue at commencement season. For generations ad­ monition and warning have poured forth upon classes momentarily helpless to protest. But none of this today. I’ll not make you the victims of a trigger-happy conscience. We shall not lament the condition of the cosmos, for a life of virtue is one of strat­ egy, not of jitters. Excessive pretense of world reform is a symbol of despair, not of hope. In solving world problems your efforts are really infinitesimal, and if the world is saved or lost, it cannot thank you above a whisper. If some­ one tells you the times are evil and all is lost, just recall the innumerable times of the past when all was lost, but everybody survived. No, phobophobia is not befitting your years. There are too many concrete things that need looking after for you to surrender to fear of fear. I give you a poem as a reminder of the lamentations of some elders; you may call it doggerel, but it is no more so, in fact, than the cackling of pessimistic orators. My grandfather, viewing earth’s worn cogs Said things were going to the dogs. His grand-dad, in his house of logs Said things were going to the dogs. And his grand-dad, in the Flemish bogs, Said things were going to the dogs. There’s one thing new I want to state: knowing everything about everything. Declos further in­ sisted that culture was not specialism. Finally he pro­ claimed, “Culture is what is left over after you have forgotten everything.” What is left over after one has for­ gotten everything? Is it understanding? A broader vision? Sympathy? Refinement of taste? Appreciation of beauty? Modesty of judgment? Accuracy in valuing? In short, is it something of value? But how does one get a value system today? I mean a value system unperturbed by the “age of anxiety” of W. H. Auden; values suitable for the age of the atom, space travel, the thinking machine, miracle drugs, symbolic logic, and hidden persuaders. From whence come values for an age of “Adventures of the Spirit” as well as for an age of “Adventures of the mind.” It is my firm belief that something of value — yea greatest value, will be found in reaffirming in our hearts and practicing in our daily lives, the philosophy of idealism. It is the philosophy on which America was founded and built. In our sophisticated culture, twentieth century man has not really lost his ideals; he has become confused amid the speed and tensions of the day. Much of the tension to­ day can be traced to the failure of the moral and religious power to keep pace with the multiplication of physical power. In forms more acute than ever in the past, we confront the ancient contest between flesh and spirit. Our technical competence is superb but we have neglected other competences of equal importance. For many of us the times are like “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” This mood was cryptically expressed some years ago by T. S. Eliot in “The Hollow Man,” when he records that “this is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.” The “dogs" have had a good long wait. And so they have! We know this to be so, and the mar­ velous world God gave us will abide if we but rise to our full humanity by valuing, praising, and adoring that which is the highest we know and freely offering up to it the best that we have. In the Pauline words: “Whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future God has planned for us. The whole creation is on tip-toe to see the wonderful sight of the sons of God coming into their own.” Let us then, gather our wits, put our minds, our lives, and what our fathers called our sacred honor to the pledge — and see that we too in our time do something worthy to be remembered. What is it that will merit our remembrance? Will it be our culture? Perhaps. But what do we mean by culture? The great French educator Auguste Declos when asked by a student to describe culture replied, “Culture is not,” and then he stopped. He repeated and said, “Culture is not encyclopedism.” He probably meant that culture is not In the first place there are too many abroad today who have as their aim and end an ancient Greek philosophy of the Cyreniacs of Cyrene. Their way was called Hedonism — self-indulgence. Their aim was pleasure. They were indifferent to their neighbors, their civic duties, and world events. Theirs was a religion of comfort. As free men they exercised the ballot on election day if it was not raining or if it was comfortable for them to do so. Social ills were not their concern. Their faith was in gadgets and more gadgets. These people are with us today. There are some with us too, both here and abroad, who live and dream of naked power for its own sake. They create a special problem today because of the shrunken character of the world. Theirs is a nihilistic philosophy, and its quest for power leads nowhere socially or politically. We fought World War II because of this way of thinking. And if you want a reminder of its tragic consequences read Norman Cousin’s evaluation of Hitler’s Mein Kampf. He says for every word in that book 125 lives were lost in the world. For every page, 4,700 lives were lost. And for every chapter in that book, 1,200,000 lives were lost. A third segment of people are dedicated to the philos­ ophy of materialism. They believe the history of all existing society in the world is the history of class struggles, free­ man and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild­ master and journeyman, oppressor and oppressed — all carry on perpetual warfare. In their thinking, production of material means of existence constitutes the foundation upon which all institutions, legal, artistic, even religious ideas are built. This system does not reckon with the vast importance of human personality. It is doubtful whether a single historical event could be interpreted in terms of this theory. But this philosophy has been buttressed by dictator­ ship and slavery and oppression and cruelty and violence and bloodshed. Most of us declare against these philosophies and for the philosophy of idealism, yet we do not seem to have the inner strength to choose. “It takes courage,” John Stuart Mill said, “to face the truth regardless of the consequences.” And it takes more than an orderly mind to make right choices. After all, an orderly mind can leave a person un­ certain about the purposes of life. There are many examples of persons who use scientific objectivity as an excuse for being completely neutral on all subjects. They suffer from an overeducated detachment from human experience. It seems to me that unless a measure of belief accompanies knowledge, unless our education has taught us to distin­ guish between right and wrong and unless some degree of faith in ideas and principles is combined with a zeal for truth, our education is incomplete. I therefore hasten today to invite you to re-examine your ideals to see if there is something of value. The philosophy of idealism upon which our American way is built is the philosophy of the potential in each human being as an individual. It is not a philosophy of things. Lest we mistakenly exchange our true idealism for material things and persist only in quantative factors like physical comfort and pleasure, let us recall the warning of our American poet Stephen Vincent Benet: You will not be saved by General Motors You will not be saved by prefabricated houses You will not be saved by dialectic materialism You will not be saved by the Lambeth Conference You will not be saved by vitamin D You will not be saved by the expanding universe In fact, you will not be saved! If you balance the books on American achievements and disregard all that has been written about American shrewdness and inventiveness and our concentration on material things, you will find that our inventions are as much intellectual and spiritual as they are physical. Back in 1897, Dr. Charles Elliot of Harvard bore out the philo­ sophy of American idealism when he wrote of America’s five great contributions to civilization. “Five contributions of America constitute our heritage,” he wrote, “the keeping of the peace, religious toleration, universal suffrage, the welcoming of newcomers, and the diffusion of well being.” “These I submit have much to do with the aim of material prosperity,” he continued, “but they are essentially five moral contributions, being triumphs of reason, enterprise, courage, faith and justice over passion, selfishness, inert­ ness, timidity and distrust.” You see, beneath what Elliot says, there lies strong ethical sentiment and a strong moral and social purpose. And it is to this that I earnestly summon you today. The challenge is not easy, for in these days, I believe it is in­ creasingly difficult to distinguish between better and worse in the world of religion and moral values. Why is this so? My own impression is that we have hopelessly con­ fused the law of things with the law of man. We have naively assumed that somehow scientific truth has greater claim to reality than intuitive truth; that what we can measure in micrometers is more true than what we can measure with feelings; that the intelligence of the heart and the ideal of love are less respectable than our concept of the atom. The challenging question for you and me is whether we can learn to educate our hearts as well as our heads ■— whether we can combine mentality with morality. I tell you, graduates, a future worth contemplating will not be achieved solely by flights to the far side of the moon. It will not be found in space. It will be achieved, if at all, only in our individual hearts. The overriding issue for you this day of your life — and I hope each of you as individuals accept the challenge — is the issue of creating a better moral world for yourself and your contemporaries. You shall need to take stock of your values and find for yourself a firm moral posture. Each of you must attempt, like Thoreau at Walden Pond, "to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.” Finally, then, we come to the heart of the matter. Something of value, the sommum bonum of life, is to be seen in man’s dignity — yours! It is the basis, as we said, of our idealistic philosophy. Simply stated, it is the belief that man is the child of God, and that he holds within himself some portion of divinity. The concept of dignity has been crucial in the history of western civilization which began in Ancient Greece, spread over the Roman world, Western Europe and Britain and finally to our shores in 1607. The idea echoed in Emerson’s phrase, “Know Thy Worth,” was born in the misty dawn of western civilization and the concept of man’s dignity and essential ■worthfulness was deepened by religious faith which advanced one grand law — love of God, love of man, love of self. From tire meeting of the Greek secular idea and the Hebraic Chris­ tian law we have no less a principle than, “rule of life by reason, in love of God, love of man, and of self.” The word dignity embraces both concepts. In this grand idea will lie your challenge in the extraordinary final decades of the twentieth century. (Concluded on Page 15) parjii 4 patjit 15 �It is a privilege and an honor to present, on behalf of the Faculty, Administra The following tntroduc! ion was made by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, who presented Dr. Charles C. Price for the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. tion and Board of Wilkes College, this candidate for the Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. The College has established criteria for honorary degrees con sistent with its primary mission, the development of a sound intellect and an aware ness of the associated social responsibilities imposed by education in a free society The honorary degrees awarded by the College are intended to call the attention of Wilkes students, (past, present, and future), the faculty, and the community at large, to individuals who personify these qualities. In all the years of its history Wilkes College has awarded just one other such degree. Dr. Charles Price, Blanchard Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania and President of the American Chemical Society, is of unquestioned professional stature as attested by a partial list of his many awards. He is the re­ cipient of the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry, the ArmyNavy Certificate of Appreciation, the Indiana Junior Chamber of Commerce Dis­ tinguished Service Award, an honorary D.Sc. from Swarthmore College, the 1955 Honor Scroll of the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Chemists, the 1960 Honor Scroll by the Philadelphia Chapter of the Institute, the Department of the Army Commendation for Meritorious Civilian Service, and two awards from the American Chemical Society, Philadelphia Section, the most recent made in 1963 in recognition of outstanding studies on the chemical basis of anticancer compounds and for his research in the field of high polymer chemistry. To date, his publica­ tions number over two hundred and twenty. In his professional field his public service work is equally impressive. Dr. Price directed research projects for the National Defense Research Committee, the Chem­ ical Warfare Service, and the Committee on Medical Research. He was Chairman of the National Science Foundation Divisional Committee for Mathematical, Phys­ ical and Engineering Sciences and served on the National Research Council as a member-at-large of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. He served as a member of the Cancer Chemotherapy Study Section of the National Institutes of Health and is currently serving as Chairman of the Advisory Council on College Chemistry. As noted earlier, he is also President of the American Chemical Society for 1964. These accomp'ishmen s in themselves are indicative of an outstanding profes­ sional individual. Ac; man could justifiably be satisfied with a career in which these successes were attained. In addition, however, Dr. Price has also been an individual with the added social and moral concerns for mankind that place him in the top rank of those men of ideals who give of themselves in service to others. His participation in the active political life of our country, his interest in human prog­ ress, his quest for broader international understanding demonstrate a concern for the role of the individual and his profession in the broader context of a free society.

PRICE. Ph. D □DAY WE LIVE IN AN ERA MARKED BY DRAMATIC CHANGE --- change in political inStitUtions, change in social order, change in economic productivity. These changes are dictated by the dramatic discoveries and developments which have revolutionized our ability to travel, to communicate, to grow food, to combat disease. The younger generation will not only have to cope with all the mistakes and miseries it may inherit from the past, but the new headaches from the technological revolution. It seems so vast, so fast-moving, so complex as to be beyond understanding or control. However, it offers a challenge and an opportunity which is unique — no other generation has ever come close to having the power to do the things you now can do! parjit 17 �Sometimes, in looking at a complex problem, it is difficult to see the woods for the trees. So I would like take a long philosophical view-back a few billion years present problems — with the hope that it may help put our and purpose in focus. The progress of science has begun to give us an amaz­ ing glimpse into the universe, its history and the major principles which guide it. We have challenging new know­ ledge of time and space, new projections into the infinite, and the infinitesimal, new understanding of genetics and the chemistry of life, new theories to explain the birth, life, and death of stars. The understanding of this latter begins with the understanding of the fundamental particles of nature. We now know some of the basic characteristics of these elementary particles of matter, the proton, the elec­ tron and the neutron. We know their infinitesimal size and mass, their electric charge and their incessant motion and kinetic energy. These wave-like particles swirl eternally through the vast reaches of space, guided by electrical, magnetic, and gravitational forces. The Van Allan radia­ tion belt, e.g., is the result of protons radiated from the sun and captured in Earth’s magnetic field. For reasons still not known, these diffuse gases can gradually accumulate in areas of the universe, slowly con­ densing as a result of gravitational attraction into vast swirling gaseous nebulae. As an immense mass oi teerprotons and electrons, in the form of hydrogen t'.p < . condenses further and further, the temperature and >_ sure of the mass increases until eventually the ■conditions necessary for the hydrogen fusion reaction ■?.; ■cached. Thus a star is born — and thus begins the syr thesis of new, more complex chemical elements by fusion of the simpler elementary particles. The natural and strong repulsion of protons, because - i their positive electric charge, is overcome and they are induced to combine, through sharing of neutrons, into the nuclei of the other one hundred chemical elements of the periodic table. This possible combination is an inherent property of the proton and neutrons, but can, in fact, occur only under the violent conditions of temperature and pressure m a living star. Presumably, the earth was f" eventually born as a bit of "fallout” from some violent perturbatit As the hydrogen fuel was f cool slowly into the tiny^^h” ““ begai ‘° gaseous “ atoms is our earth, a small satellite to the sun, the latter itself millions in our galaxy, in turn but onea minor star among of many galaxies in the vast reaches of space.

Responding to the stimulus of energy in t] T" of heat, light and electrical discharges, more and6 —rm complex molecules were elaborated. Again, the organi more of chemical structures involved sharing of 3 !ion C” tween elements, dictated by principles inherent in h structure of the atoms. e Sometime, somewhere in this welter of proliferatii pronreratin chemical change, an incredibly unlikely event must havf occurred —the organization of a “community” of these molecules, able to perform the miraculous transformation of energy and chemicals to reproduce itself. No one can yet really fully comprehend the bridging of this gap be­ tween inanimate chemistry to the first living one-celled or­ ganism, even though we have made fantastic strides in the past decade or two to understanding the fundamental chemistry of the living process and of reproducing much of it in the laboratory. But given the vastly complicated chem­ ical machinery of the simplest one-celled organism, we can now comprehend the slow, faltering process of mutation arid adaptation which led to the proliferation of all life this planet. We know that the amazing DNA molecules n the nucleus of every cell carry the coded information to instruct a new cell in its exact duties. We know that these molecules can be modified by chemicals, by radiation, by viruses, in such a way as to transmit modified information and thus cause mutation. We know7 the detailed structure of the four units of DNA molecules, strung together in units of 100,000 or more. We are even beginning to be able to decipher the code on these giant chain molecules, to see how they transmit their detailed instructions for protein synthesis to the new daughter cells. We know that there are amazing similarities in the chemical constitution and chemical functions of compounds in the simplest one celled organism and in man. But what does all this knowledge of evolution and the facts of life tell us of the purpose and meaning of life? Can our understanding of the chemistry of the living cell explain the creation of a Beethoven symphony, the Declaration of Independence, a Shakespe arean play, the theory of evolu­ tion? These are but examples of the remarkable creati I would like to suggest that one of the most amazing secrets of the life process is the ability of a complex array of molecules in a living cell to convert energy in such a way as to reverse the normal laws of thermodynamics by creating a fantastic and improbable order out of a chaos of atoms and energy. In a sense, we may say that human society is in fact analogous to a system of living cells in a living organism. In the same sense that the biological cell uses the coded information in the DNA of its chromosomes to organize and control its activities, so human society has been evolving ideas and institutions to organize and con­ trol its activities. The human mind can creatively organize sounds into a Beethoven symphony, words into a Shakes­ pearean play, political principles into an American Con­ stitution. Evolution has dictated that those biological organisms can survive which can so organize their functions as to permit survival — and to make survival worthwhile! Is it not clear that this drive to order and organization is now crucial to our society if it is to survive the challenges it now faces? Science has given man the key to cosmic energy, the ability to shrink time and distance, the knowledge to com­ bat disease. Just as living organisms had to evolve more complex control mechanisms as they grew ever more com­ plex, so our society must evolve and adapt or, as the in­ exorable laws of evolution dictate, it will become as ob­ solete as the dodo and the carrier pigeon; the dinosaur and the sabre-tooth tiger. Incidentally, perhaps we should require the cold (and hot) warriors among us to contem­ plate life-size statues of tyrannosaurus rex and the sabre­ tooth tiger for one minute every morning! Perhaps this would eventually register the idea that these species did not become extinct because of physical weakness. In fact, it may have been their super-efficiency of destructive power which doomed them — while the lowly earth worm and cockroach go on and on. In summary, then, I can discern a fascinating pattern running through what I can see as the history of physical, biological, and social evolution. For atoms, protons, the fundamental units, were in­ duced under the proper conditions to overcome their natural repulsion and to become bound together in more complex atomic nuclei through sharing of neutrons. They then have a new character, identity, and function, distinct from the sum of the parts. For molecules, atoms, the fundamental units, were in­ duced under the proper conditions to overcome their natural repulsion by sharing electrons, thus elaborating the vast, complex, and vital array of chemical compounds which make life possible. Again, the compounds have a character, identity, and function greater than the sum of the parts. force of life, of modern man and human civilization. paqfi |b paqn|9 In living cells, chemical compounds in great variety and number are highly organized into a cooperative com­ munity necessary to accomplish the complex functions in­ volved in the life and reproduction of the cell. In the vegetable and animal kingdom, living cells, the fundamental units, associate into living organisms to elab­ orate the amazing variety of living beings, each with its multitude of cells organized and controlled to serve pur­ poses necessary to the life and function of the whole. And, certainly, a human being is a vastly different organism than an equal weight of amoeba! In the human kingdom, the most recent addition to this evolutionary hierarchy, the human being is the “fun­ damental particle.” He has gradually overcome natural repulsions and antagonisms to organize more complex social structures, the tribe, the city state, the kingdom, the modern nation state. In each case, the forces of coopera­ tion bound larger and more complex units into a living, functioning whole. The family was the basic unit when hunting natural foods was the basis of survival. When agriculture evolved, a more complex organization into tribes was required. As civilization evolved and trade be­ came important, the ancient city state became the basis of political organization. Now these institutions have grown into the modern nation state and the modern corp­ oration. Today, having drastically modified our environment by releasing cosmic forces here on earth and by substan­ tially altering the natural conditions which in the past controlled the human population, new adaptations are vital to survival. We must use the vital force of love, un­ derstanding, human compassion, or more baldly, the basic urge of life to survive and create, to overcome our natural antagonisms and conflicts in order to cooperate in the building of world order and world-wide law — or our evolutionary experiment, as with many in the past, may well be terminated by extinction. There are those among us who are opposed to such ideas on the basis they may destroy our constitution and undermine our principles. I would just say this for their benefit! It is crystal clear that while extinction is the pen­ alty of failure to evolve, successful evolution builds on the past and does not destroy it. Protons remain in atoms, atoms remain in molecules, molecules retain their identity and function in cells, cells retain their identity and func­ tion in living organisms. So must successful evolution of social organization retain the identity and function of individuals, of families, of local groups, of cities, of states and of nations in a successful evolution of the United Nations into an effective instrument of international law and order, i.e., a world federal government. �Evolution in the physical and biological world has been guided largely by the basic characteristics of the fund­ amental particles of matter, their mass, charge and wave­ like nature, as well as their response to electrical, magnetic, and gravitational forces. To a minor degree, chance has affected the process. The same may be said of social, polit­ ical. and economic evolution, with the important exception that the evolution can now, at least to some extent, be guided by the conscious and rational decisions of men. We are thus the first unit in the evolutionary sequence dis­ cussed above which is able to guide its own evolution. We are now at the stage of evolving worldwide polit­ ical and economic institutions — the United Nations, World Bank, World Health Organization. Food and Agriculture Organization, and ESSO are examples. We have seen in 19 years some remarkable evolution of the United Nations. Korea proved that its original con­ cept of voluntary collective security was impractical, but it led to the “Unite for Peace” resolution, an important new concept or “mutation” designed to overcome some crippling aspects of the Security Council veto. Despite vigorous Soviet objections at the time, the first use of this new pro­ cedure came at the time of Suez, and the Soviet voted to U'-.■ it to circumvent British and French vetoes. This led to the first true world police action, still on duty to maintain a precarious peace in this tinderbox. When the Congo called for help to pacify the dis­ orders of its birth pangs, .he UN took another historic step in intervening to establish order in this critical area. In recent times, the L'.. has even demonstrated that it can influence the policies of the major powers. In the Congo, its resolution forced the evacuation of a Soviet mission sent in io hr p Lumumba defy the central govern­ ment. In Cuba, certainly one factor restraining American forces from supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion was the strong and universal sentiment at the UN against such a move. But much remains to be done. The UN still does not operate on the basic principles shown by the lessons of history to be successful at all other levels of political organization. Suppose we could only be requested to stop at red lights or to travel on the right side of the road — and could arm to the teeth to defy anyone who tried to compel us to do so? Suppose our local, state, and national govern­ ments could only request contributions from their citizens rather than levying taxes? Suppose we had to have a meet­ ing of the City Council to vote whether to recruit a fire company only after the fire started —and could then de­ bate whether all the costs should be borne either by the person whose house burned down or by the person who started the fire? Suppose any individual who was accused of a crime could refuse to be taken to court! Suppose the only way to punish the treasurer of a company for ab­ sconding with funds or murdering his neighbor was to hold the entire corporation responsible? These principles would seem ridiculous if we tried to practice them in the City of Philadelphia, yet these are the principles on which we now try to run the United Nations, the institution charged with preventing nuclear war. How can we change this state of affairs? Obviously, we need to seek agreement, here among Americans and throughout the rest of the world, that it is to our mutual advantage to cooperate in revising the United Nations into an effective and responsible instrument of international law and order. Perhaps this can be done in steps by gradual evolu­ tion rather than by revolution. If so, solving the financial crisis of the UN by giving it the authority to levy its own direct taxes, perhaps an excise tax on international travel and transportation might be a possibility. Secondly, progress toward genuine disarmament would automatically elevate the position of the UN by decreasing the ability of any nation to defy the UN. This country could do much to enhance the ability of the World Court to acquire compulsory jurisdiction over many types of disputes involving the United States by repeal of our self-judging reservation on the World Court. It is not possible to know with certainty how our present problems and conflicts can be resolved. It does seem clear, from the long history of evolution, that strong natural opposition can be overcome, under propitious circum­ stances, by coordinated cooperation. The development of worldwide trade, travel, communication, the vital inter­ dependence of the welfare of all peoples, and the vast threat of nuclear destruction may, combined, provide the propitious circumstances. Can we use our heads and our hearts to find the means to cooperate? Under Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, America has set this as a great goal. But the task ahead will be neither easy nor free of controversy. In our society, each of us has the right and duty to express his views on such questions in whatever way he may feel will be effective and responsible. I urge each of you to find some way to work for a better, more cooperative community at the local, national, and world levels. In this way, each of you can make your contribution to the grand design of evolution. paQB|IN Satisfaction by alumni, pleasure by the faculty, and Students of all classes attended the seminar this year, following recommendations made by alumni at last year’s sessions.

These are the questions which Paul Tillich calls “the dimension in depth.” I am referring, unapologetically, to your concept of the divinity that lies within you. There is an observable unconcern for this today and I think it is partially created for us by the superficiality of the prevailing religious cul­ ture. To me, religion is the quest for that meaning which has power to give shape to experience, purpose to existence, and motivation and moral energy to the human experience. Correlatives to it arc intimacy and ultimacy, finitude and transcendence, nature and history, good and evil, the self and the other, faith and doubt, despair and hope, life and death. These questions are peculiarly and poignantly human and we have neglected these, with a gross loss in life’s real meaning the result. It is not a case of these ques­ tions having been asked and found to have no significance — rather they have been found difficult and not asked. Occasionally in your lives, when the accumulated dust of creedal dogmas and man-made idols clouds your vision and obscures your divine image, I ask you to wipe away the artifacts, not with the undignified cloth of base action, but with intelligent and dedicated self-questioning, like the Psalmist of old who looked upon the vast mystery about him and asked. “What is man that Thou art mindful of him?” And finally, how do you answer the ancient yet cur­ rent question which the Psalmist asked? I think you will find your guide to something of value in an idealistic al­ ternative — prophetic faith. A belief in a power beyond yourself. In our tradition we call this force God. We find communication with God and knowledge of His work among us through inner spiritual discernment, a phenom­ enon not susceptible to proof or disproof through science or philosophy. For God is spirit — the spirit of love. Seniors, the humbling, enlightening, and emancipating encounter with the power beyond ourselves, which we call God, is an exclusively personal matter; its realization and interpretation depends importantly upon factors of human origin, culture, and tradition. But the world we tend to adopt is one of things and is too impersonal. Religious faith, hope, and love arc personal responses to a personal God and can thrive only in a personal universe. I fear that too long we have excluded these fundamental questions about the meaning and limits of personal experience. Wanted then above everything else is something of value. You will find it within yourself in the spirit of God which dwells within. You arc a creature of God. “Thou has made him.” said the Psalmist in answer to his question. "Thou has made him a little lower than God.” And God which dwells within you is love. So if the God of love dwells within you there is an objective standard by which you will be judged in secret. You will then develop a con­ science and you will meditate upon the law of God. Your greed and self-centeredness will be effectively curbed; your cupidity and desire will be turned to higher ends than those in vogue today. You will see clearly through the falsehoods and snares of the times in which you live. Love is the “Something of Value.” Man has tried everything else and been disappointed, but whenever man has tried love, he has never been disappointed. “Love never faileth” in any age. The immortal world of love is indestructible. into the nature of ideas. Through expression in tb keep in our souls images of magnificence. May I add even the new thinking of scientists as they look into the atom indicates that this is not a mechanistic world. There is a unity in the world and the whole is great­ er than the sum of the parts. In this perspective we can also see better our relations to our creator. We are not infinitesimal beings on a small planet in a remote corner of the universe. Somehow, in this emerging concept the sci­ entists say the universe merges with us and in this new vision we can understand how there can be a Creator of the universe who holds in his hands the farthest reaches of the stars and at the same time is close to each of us as a loving father ready to strengthen us if we turn to him. The Meaning of the Arts In Education The arts are intensely personal. They requir ance and attention. You can read about Marie Faustus, but you have to hear the lines and see the ance to feel the agony of a man deprived of salvati Macbeth’s words, “Hell is murky,” are an aware divinity that shapes our end, that cleanses and pi spirit. Fever and darkness are symbolic of the human despair. The arts, to flourish, need an open society. Their mean­ ing is always linked with freedom. Skills and techniques can be taught and acquired, but the arts, like religion, must liberate the creative spirit rather than confine and inhibit it. Education in the liberal arts opens the mi: world of ideas. The mind, like the palm of one’s h be open in order to give as well as to receive. A fist, like a closed mind, tightens around itself an communication. It breeds violence, hate, and p prejudice, and leads ultimately to withdrawal world of truth. by Alfred S. Groh, ’41 To live in a world of truth, the individual must be ded­ icated to freedom. The arts encourage free and open inquiry MORE THAN DISCO VE] We see that literally the kingdom of heaven is around us and within us, that there is a spiritual domain with a reality far deeper and more significant than anything tangible and visible. We see that the ultimate power of the universe is not the shattering power of the atom, but the vitalizing power of love, the love of our Creator for us, the love that we should have for him and for our fellow human beings. Today we must begin to live our lives in these new terms, living not as machines moving in super­ ficial space, but as children of our Creator, ~ moving in the domain of the spirit — in love. by Alfred S Prologue Kahdril Gibran says most beautifully what I want to say to you today: You give but little when you give of your possessions. The New World offered all of those The right to worship as they chose. Columbus hailed a Spanish ship And made his epoch-breaking trip, A passage that he would regret — For Europe wasn’t ready yet. For those who trap or fish or trade The arts and learning are delayed. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. And the land of rivers waited, While a century debated. There are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty. America was talked about in Spain. Adventure was a fever in the brain. For English, French, and Swedes oppressed, Freedom was a current running west. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. I And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; they give, as in yonder valley, the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Any time a sail appeared, A curious savage saw it come. The violence to those on shore Brought by those on board was more Than either ever feared: The violence, so strange to some, Was what they were escaping from. Through the hands of such as these, God speaks, and from behind their eyes, He smiles upon the earth. Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, and all uigc is blind save when there is knowledge. And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and <111 work is empty save when there is love; and when you work with love, you bind yourself to yourself, And to one another, and to God. And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving. |itiqi! |1G i VI More than discovery of a land, More than a school, a fort, or steeple Long, long after a queen’s command, America was the discovery of the people.

These arc the questions which Paul Tillich calls "the dimension in depth." I am referring, unapologetically, to your concept of the divinity that lies within you. There is an observable unconcern for this today and I think it is partially created for us by the superficiality of the prevailing religious cul­ ture. To me. religion is the quest for that meaning which has power to give shape to experience, purpose to existence, and motivation and moral energy to the human experience. Correlatives to it are intimacy and ultimacy, finitudc and transcendence, nature and history, good and evil, the self and the other, faith and doubt, despair and hope, life and death. These questions are peculiarly and poignantly human and we have neglected these, with a gross loss in life's real meaning the result. It is not a case of these ques­ tions having been asked and found to have no significance — rather they have been found difficult and not asked. Occasionally in your lives, when the accumulated dust of ereedal dogmas and man-made idols clouds your vision and obscures your divine image. I ask you to wipe away the artifacts, not with the undignified cloth of base action, but with intelligent and dedicated self-questioning, like the Psalmist of old who looked upon the vast mystery about him and asked. "What is man that Thou art mindful of him?" And finally, how do you answer the ancient yet cur­ rent question which the Psalmist asked? I think you will find your guide to something of value in an idealistic al­ ternative — prophetic faith. \ belie: in a power brvwi! yourself. In our tradition we call this force God. '■■■■■ communication with God and knowledge of Fib wo k among us through inner spiritual discernment, a phenom­ enon not .susceptible to proof or disproof through science or philosophy. For God is spirit— the spirit of ?. Seniors, the humbling, enlightening, and emancipating encounter with the power beyond ourselves, which we call God. is an exclusively personal matter; its realization and interpretation depends importantly upon factors of human origin, culture, and tradition. But the world we lend to adopt is one of things and is too impersonal. Religious faith, hope, and love- are personal responses to a personal God and can thrive only in ' t a personal universe. I fear that too long We have excluded these fundamental questions about the meaning and limits of personal experience. Wanted then above everything else is something of value. You will find it within yourself in the spirit of God which dwells within. You are a creature of God. “Thou has made him." said the Psalmist in answer to his question. "Thon has made him a little lower than God.” And God which dwells within you is love. So if the God of love dwells within yon there is an objective standard by which you will be judged in secret. You will then develop a con­ science and yon will meditate upon the law of God. Your greed and self-centeredness will be effectively curbed; your cupidity and desire will be turned to higher ends lhan'those in vogue today. You will see clearly through the falsehoods and snares of the times in which you live. Love is the “Something of Value.” Man has tried everything else and been disappointed, but whenever man has tried love, he has never been disappointed. “Love never faileth” in ’ any age. The immortal world of love is indestructible. into the nature of ideas. Through expression in the arts we keep in our souls images of magnificence. The Meaning of the Arts In Education May I add even the new thinking of scientists as they look into the atom indicates that this is not a mechanistic world. There is a unity in the world and the whole is great­ er than the sum of the parts. In this perspective we can also see better our relations to our creator. We are not infinitesimal beings on a small planet in a remote corner of the universe. Somehow, in this emerging concept the sci­ entists say the universe merges with us and in this new vision we can understand how there can be a Creator of the universe who holds in his hands the farthest reaches of the stars and at the same time is close to each of us as a loving father ready to strengthen us if we turn to him. The arts are intensely personal. They require attend­ ance and attention. You can read about Marlowe s Dr. Faustus, but you have to hear the lines and see the perform­ ance to feel the agony of a man deprived of salvation. Lady Macbeth’s words, “Hell is murky,” are an awareness of a divinity that shapes our end, that cleanses and purifies the spirit. Fever and darkness are symbolic of the depths of human despair. by Alfreds. Groh, >41 Education in the liberal arts opens the mind to the world of ideas. The mind, like the palm of one’s hand, must be open in order to give as well as to receive. A clenched fist, like a closed mind, tightens around itself and cuts off communication. It breeds violence, hate, and perpetuates prejudice, and leads ultimately to withdrawal from the world of truth. The arts, to flourish, need an open society. Their mean­ ing is always linked with freedom. Skills and techniques can be taught and acquired, but the arts, like religion, must liberate the creative spirit rather than confine and inhibit it. To live in a world of truth, the individual must be ded­ icated to freedom. The arts encourage free and open inquiry We see that literally the kingdom of heaven is around us and within us, that there is a spiritual domain with a reality far deeper and more significant than anything tangible and visible. We see that the ultimate power of the universe is not the shattering power of the atom, but the vitalizing power of love, the love of our Creator for us, the love that we should have for him and for our fellow human beings. Today we must begin to live our lives in these new terms, living not as machines moving in super­ ficial space, but as children of our Creator, moving in the domain of the spirit — in love. MORE THAN DISCOVERY by Alfred S. Groh, ’41 Prologue Kahdril Gibran says most beautifully what I want to say to you today: i ou give but little when you give of your possessions. The New World offered all of those The right to worship as they chose. Columbus hailed a Spanish ship And made his epoch-breaking trip, A passage that he would regret — For Europe wasn’t ready yet. For those who trap or fish or trade The arts and learning are delayed. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. And the land of rivers waited, While a century debated. There are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty. America was talked about in Spain. Adventure was a fever in the brain. For English, French, and Swedes oppressed, Freedom was a current running west. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. I And there arc those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; they give, as in yonder valley, the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Any time a sail appeared, A curious savage saw it come. The violence to those on shore Brought by those on board was more Than either ever feared: The violence, so strange to some, Was what they were escaping from. 7 hrough the hands of such as these, God speaks, and from behind their eyes, He smiles upon the earth. VI More than discovery of a land, More than a school, a fort, or steeple Long, long after a queen’s command, America was the discovery of the people. III People living by the sea Encountered hardships constantly. Shipbuilding furthered foreign trade By a frugal people, unafraid. IV Well up the Valley of the Susquehanna, And the Valley of the Delaware, The Middle Colonies prospered On land in abundance there: Quakers, Germans, Scotch-Irish, Who were not really Irish at all, Irish, French Huguenots, Polish, and Welsh — The groups were many but small. The New World offered all of those The right to worship as they chose. Many a tobacco autocrat Became a gentleman in haste. When one could buy the work of others. One could cultivate one’s taste. VII Shakespeare and sermons, Hornbooks and spelling bees Taught that independence Is never earned with ease. When a thriving people abdicate, Never meaning to, The things that they should legislate, Others always do. Thirteen colonies, thirteen states Only geography separates Guaranteed inalienable rights The world was moving toward; To the people as a whole, Governed by conscience, not control. VIII Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, and all urge is blind save when there is knowledge. And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love; and when Freedom was bitter, bearded, strong, Like the wilderness it pushed along. you work with love, you bind yourself to yourself, And to one another, and to God. “To build a City of God on earth.” Many left their place of birth. The American chair, cupboard, or chest Was as plain as a Puritan sermon, Like the Pennsylvania Dutch, Who were really not Dutch but German. To profit from the enterprise, Companies helped them colonize. The New World offered all of these The right to live the way they please. And he alone is great who turns the voice of the v.ind into a song made sweeter by his own loving. As class distinction disappears, An aristocracy has fears, Proclaiming and expounding Doctrines high-sounding. II H I pag«|17 V More than discovery of a land, More than a school, a town, or steeple, Long, long after a queen’s command, America was the discovery of the people. So much of the Old Country Has come here, seeking, That the voice of America Is all men speaking. �ANSWER OF AMERICA by Alfred S. Groh, ’41 Prologue There is food upon my table And in my cupboard wine: I marvel that your coming Should be so much like mine. America means different things to some. It holds out promises to those who come. The difference is in us, and not the land, Whether we keep or not its stern command. Whatever made America, good and bad, Came from a conscience the nation had, Shaped us to its will, And, ever changing, shapes us still. The Blue and the Gray On a battlefield in Gettysburg, Where Americans had died, A child perceived differences Which, unresolved, divide. On a battlefield in Gettysburg, A child’s eyes opened wide: The difference is in us, they said, And what we feel inside. The Farmer By the sweat of our brow And a friend or two Our strength increased And our largess grew. With a mule and a plow, In war years and after, We planted strength And harvested laughter. The Miner li I exchanged the bottle for a secret salve That would cure the ills I didn’t have. T I exchanged the salve for an exotic fern To bring me things I didn’t earn. I exchanged the fern for a magic stone, When I saw a sign, “Is your life your own?” I taught my sons right from wrong, But they were quick to see That you can win a world with song So easily. A man’s life is answers. Before he learns or speaks He begins the search for wisdom, Not knowing what he seeks. I taught my daughters how to choose But they were quick to learn That everything you win or lose You earn. He begins his search for truth, Unmindful of its worth. A man’s life is questions, From the moment of his birth. Epilogue The Homemaker It cannot be so long ago That I was hungry too And gnawed the marrow in my bones, Much the same as you. The Scientist The Scholar Built of brick, Built of sod, The house is always A house of God. Wound of the earth, Scar of the soil: The pain is ours For the land we spoil. I ask protection In the constant quest, From the tyranny of self That haunts my unrest. I took the stone to the man in the booth And exchanged it sadly for the truth. Gifts of gold, Gifts of pearl, Foolish when you Love the girl. Come, sit down beside me Before you go your way. I too was once an exile, I too was asked to stay. I ask protection From the tyranny of mind That threatens one’s right To seek and find And discover knowledge Of every kind. I met a man in a canvas booth Who sold me a bottle of eternal youth. Writ on sand, Carved on stone, Life is sinew, Flesh, and bone. Drop the cage, Light the lamp, Raise the pillars, Build the ramp. I ask protection From theft and greed, The hunger born Of a desperate need. I took my money to the county fair To see what medicines were there. Gifts of pearl, Gifts of gold, For such as these Hearts grow old. There is bread upon my table And in my oven meat. Stranger, you are welcome To come inside and eat. The Judge The Medicine Man The Builder Ding — Dong — Ding — Dong — Toll the bells of sorrow. Ding - Dong, Ding - Dong, Back to work tomorrow. I taught my children true from false, But I was quick to see That everything which I taught them, They had taught to me. And now that I have strength to give, And more than I shall need, Truly, you are welcome To come inside and feed. America is changing Day by day. The world we greet tomorrow Is already on its way. Who can prophesy its future, Or what we will become? The meaning of America Is different things to some. I The answer of America Was made long ago In the labor of the people Who loved her so. page|IB page 119 �Ak->- I 0 R L D 0 F . . -h T RUTH by Alfred S.

I see in books Is different From the way it looks But I was taught From what I read The earth is the Lord’s As it was said. In a single stroke By someone who listened While I spoke And she was young And fair and wise And the whole world Was in her eyes. There is the world In shadowland Where freedom itself Is contraband Stored on docks In bins Or purged away Like sins. Truth and beauty Though denied Still exist Side by side. There is no world That I can tell Where truth and beauty Do not dwell. There is no world That is so small That love is welcome Not at all. There is no world That I know of That cannot hold A little love. I think I know What I shall find When friends and city Are left behind And into the world I travel down Over the mountain To another town.

Come with me Up from the valley Out of the town Over the mountain And travel down Into the world You know in books And see for yourself The way it looks. There is the world Of black and white Where judgment flies In sudden fright Before extremes Of left and right And terror brings Incessant night. There is the world Of fairy tales Turned topsy-turvy On the scales Where everyone laughs At the nursery tune Of the sacred cows That race for the moon. There is the world Of every man Who does as little As he can Complains and moans And shakes his head And grumbles On his way to bed. T Ji- he earth is turning And a wind stirs. People Like ancient mariners Chart their course On a wandering star To fix the position Where they are. The earth is moving While people wait And hope the time Is not too late For men to change And then create Another world And a different fate.

This is the world I would not choose To silence or banish Or refuse. Let it suffice That in my youth I had a rendezvous With truth. There is the man Who never hears The melody Of passing years Whose life is spent Righteous and grim A prisoner Inside of him.

Benson distinguished himself by meritorious service as Chaplain, 57th Fighter Group, Paine Field, Washington, from 31 March 1962 to 4 March 1964. Under his leadership an outstanding program was developed to meet the spiritual needs of all military personnel and their de­ pendents, contributing greatly to improved morale and strengthened moral living. His relationship with the civilian community contributed substan­ tially to better understanding of the military mission. The distinc­ tive accomplishments of Chap­ lain Benson reflect credit upon himself and the United States Air Force. �DR. RIPLEY AUTHOR OF NEW TEXT A distinguished contribution to the understanding of the physi­ cal sciences at collegiate level has been published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., of New York. It is a book titled "The Elements and Structure of the Physical Sciences" written by Dr. Julien A. Ripley, Jr., asso­ ciate professor of physics at Wilkes College. UMPHRED, '52, ADVANCED BY COMMONWEALTH William J. Umphred, '52, Gen­ eral Commercial Manager of the Commonwealth Telephone Company, has been appointed in charge of the Commercial Deoartment Activities of that company. Bill's duties will cover the fields of public relations and community development for Sordoni Enterprises. Associated with the Commonwealth since 1955, Umphred served as assisstant district manager at To­ wanda, acting district manager at Quarryville, and as assistant manager at Bangor before being appointed General Com­ mercial AAanager. Bill resides at 200 Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. EDWARD YADZINSKI, '62, was selected to participate in rhe 1964 spring tour of the Boston Pops Tour Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler, Conductor. Ed was chosen to play bass clarinet and clarinet in the seventy-four member orchestra after audi­ tioning before Arthur Fiedler. The four-week tour included New York, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Harrisburg, Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit. Ed received his B.S. in Music Education at Wilkes and his M.M. degree in Music Education from the Eastman School of Mu­ sic, Rochester, Nev/ York. He played bass clarinet and clarin­ et with the Buffalo Philharmon­ ic, Lukas Foss, Conductor, dur­ ing 1963-1964 season. The book is designed to be used by students in liberal arts and the humanities as a text to­ wards achieving a comprehen­ sive insight into the field of physics. The author clearly rec­ ognizes the difficulties involved today in trying to maintain the tradition that the educated per­ son should be familiar with science. The science of physics alone has expanded so trem­ endously in this century that it requires careful guidance to lead the serious student to a significant level of understand­ ing in this field. Dr. Ripley has attempted to do this, not by a superficially glib presentation of a popularized version of physics, but rather by probing the science in depth. Drawing on his 31 years of ex­ perience in teaching the sub­ ject, he has managed to com­ bine the fundamentals of the science with both historical and philosophical background, v/hich make his text interesting and enlightening as well as highly informative. The historical development of modern science from "natural philosophy" is pointedly traced to give the student insight into both form and substance of scientific inquiry. No attempt is made to produce a text on ex­ perimental physics, but rather the use of facts, gathered from experiment and observation, is interrelated with theory to pro­ duce a meaningful knowledge of science. The text was origin­ ally written to fill a specific need. When Wilkes College in­ troduced a comprehensive sci­ ence course for its liberal arts students, Dr. Ripley found it necessary to write considerable original material which was duplicated from manuscript for use by the students. This form­ ed the basis of the book. Dr. Ripley has been associate professor of physics at Wilkes since 1 960. He received his B.A. degree from Yale and his M.A. from Harvard. He received his doctorate of philosophy in phys­ ics from the University of Vir­ ginia and took additional grad­ uate work at George Washing­ ton University, Washington, D.C. He served as associate profess­ or of physics at Dickinson Col­ lege, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and chairman of the depart­ ment of physics and mathemat­ ics at Abadan Institute of Tech­ nology in Iran. He is a member of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers. page 128 This basic research involves im­ portant studies in cell biology and movement.

Ogren, associate professor of biology, is pres­ ently directing a research proj­ ect, "The Study of Biology and Morphogenesis of the Tapew o r m Hexa-canth Embryo," which is being subsidized by the National Science Foundation through a $14,800 grant. Before joining the faculty at Wilkes in 1963, Dr. Ogren was professor of biology at Dickin­ son College for six years. Prior to that time, he was assistant professor of Biology at Ursinus College, and before that, a graduate assistant at the Uni­ versity of Illinois. Dr. Ogren received the B.A. de­ gree from Wheaton College, the M.S. degree from Northwestern University, and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. He is one of few biologists in the world who has undertaken the study of the biology of the hexa-canth (six-hooked) embryo. Dr. Ogren is also the recipient of a previous grant from the National Science Foundation and Darbaker Award from the Pennsylvania Academy of Sci­ ence for an outstanding paper an microscopical biology. Page 129 In August, Dr. Ogren will travel to Boulder, Colorado where he will present four papers to various societies to which he belongs, i.e., the American So­ ciety of Parasitologists, and the American Society of Zoologists. These meetings will be held on the campus of the University of Colorado and are sponsored by the American Institute of Biolog­ ical Science. The papers he will give are: (1) The effect of in­ creased salt concentration on the rate of movement and sur­ vival of oncospheres from the tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta. (2) Demonstration of mor­ phogenesis in the hexa-canth embryo of Hymenolepis diminuta, a tapeworm of mammals. (3) Introductory study of pen­ etrating oncospheres of Hymen­ olepis diminuta. (4) C e I I u I a r changes shown by reorganizing oncospheres of Hymenolepis diminuta following entrance in­ to the hemocoel of Tribolium confusum. A native of Jamestown, New York, Dr. Ogren resides with his wife, the former Jean Jackson of Philadelphia, and two children at 88 Lathrop Street, Kingston. PAUL A. KLEIN, '60, RAY NUTAIT1S, '62, has been awarded a perform­ ance certificate from the East­ man School of Music, Rochester, New York.

Paul will continue his studies toward the Masters De­ gree in mathematics at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. This current NSF grant is the second consecutive grant awarded to Paul. Last year he studied under the NSF program at Lafayette College. Paul teaches mathematics at the Dallas Senior High School. He and his wife Nettie and their children, sons Kevin and Michael, and daughter, Toni Marie, reside at 464 Third Avenue, Kingston, Pennsyl­ vania. They plan to move to New Jersey in August. �S TODAY’S COLLEGE STU­ DENT a concerned citizen or an pathetic mouse? During the 1950’s the prevailing image of the college student portrayed a well-behaved and thoroughly unherioc young person. The same catch­ phrases appeared again and again in diagnoses of campus life: “student apathy,” “student conformity,” “the quest for security,” "no interest in politics.” RAUB HONORED AT PENNSYLVANIA William F.

The editors of Time and Life discovered a "conservative revival” on several cam­ puses — evidence of political activism from a conservative stance. More re­ cently, newspapers like the New York Times have linked the participation of college students in civil rights sitins to another sort of political ac­ tivism, the “liberal” crusade. Among scholars, too, there are those who claim to identify among students a new “intellectual commitment” to pub­ lic affairs. Which portrait of the student is right? The answer is that both are right yet neither is right, because both are over-generalizations. If one judges by the majority, it is quite fair to say that college students are politically passive. The Cornell Value Study, which surveyed the at­ titudes of 2,975 students in eleven universities, reported that undergrad­ uates were, in general, “politically disinterested.” The Cornell inves­ tigators made this survey in 1952, but there is little reason to believe that the statement would not hold today. A Brookings Institution report, just pub­ lished, suggests that high school youths generally become less favor­ able to the idea of government service after they go to college. Foreign comparisons confirm this general pattern of political and social uninterestedness, A survey of college students in ten countries found that a ■>hijh 131 peculiar characteristic of most of the Americans was their accent on “privatism”: the yen to seek a “rich, full life” for themselves and their families, to think in concrete and practical terms about the material benefits that the future might hold-all this while remaining relatively unconcerned about social problems. The Americans’ attitude was in marked contrast with the outlook of students in Mexico, Egypt, and Bantu society, whose fond­ est hope-though often distorted by excessive emotionalism — was to con­ tribute something to the community: to help raise the standard of living in their villages, or to help their countries in their struggles for national in­ dependence. SO FAR, however, we have only been talking about the majority of American students. Co-existing with this ma­ jority is a small proportion of college students who are intensely and vo­ cally interested in political issues. It is these individuals who have inspired reports of a general political revival on the American campus. (They con­ stitute very much the minority— al­ though I would guess from my own talks with students that the passive majority has become more friendly in recent years towards the few who champion political causes. By show­ ing tolerance for the active few, many students assuage their own prickings of conscience about not becoming ac­ tive themselves.) Today’s political minority is in no sense a new phenomenon. The “cam­ pus radicalism” of the early 1930’s was largely a fiction derived from the activities of relative handfuls of stu­ dents at a few highly visible institu­ tions. This we know from recent studies of graduates from that era. Even in 1950, when McCarthyism had cowed many of their elders, a strong minority of Berkeley undergraduates signed a written protest against the requirement that their professors take a loyalty oath and disclaim any past connection with pro-Communist groups, If political interest on the part of the minority is nothing new, neither is political apathy on the part of the majority. In World War II, a period when one would have expected a heightened sense of identification with the community, a survey of college attitudes showed that most students were cautious, conventional, unin­ volved. The evidence of history, in­ deed, is that indifference about public affairs has dogged student life ever since the Civil War. THE SITUATION is thus much the same as ever it was—and yet it is not the same. What has altered is the kind of political indifference, the kind of ap­ athy about social issues, that some students show. On many campuses there can be seen a student type who a generation ago would have been a highly political rebel, but who today is almost fervently apolitical and aso­ cial. Where the old version showed social concern by vehemently criticiz­ ing existing institutions within society, the new type rejects society in toto. Or, rather, he tries to. One variant of this new type is the beatnik who, in­ stead of rebelling, simply withdraws. To account for this phenomenon we can point first to the students’ family backgrounds. A predominant charac­ teristic of modern parents is their fail­ ure to realize that love and reason­ able authority can be combined. As a result the child, on feeling a natural desire to oppose his parents, can often find no authority to rebel against. His alternative is to withdraw, to comply outwardly with the gentle requests of his parents but to shut them out from an inner world of his own. The psychological effect of this pattern is reinforced at college. Here a host of requirements and eraminations all too often induce the under­ graduate to “think small,” to concen­ trate on clearing each hurdle in an academic obstacle race rather than on thinking widely and imaginatively about the world around him. If he re­ sents the system, to whom can he make an effective complaint? We, the professors, are frequently inaccessible to the student. Even more frequently, we are content merely to fill the stu­ dent full of professional know-how. At the same time we decry the ab­ sence of creative enterprise among students — as if the absence wasn’t our own fault. AND YET it is not entirely our own fault. A feeling of individual helpless­ ness is induced by certain factors in U.S. civilization as a whole. First there is America's advanced state of industrialization. When a col­ lege student looks at our society's vast impersonal processes - and humblv asks himself where he can fit in — he is not simply being a conformist. Per­ haps ho is also being realistic; perhaps he sees that we live in a society which organizes intelligence ever more close- I �■■ ly — a society where opportunities for individual initiative or for the exer­ cise of talent on one’s own terms have actually decreased. Accompanying our advanced indus­ trialization are the extraordinary phenomena of modern communication and modern standardization. These are not necessarily evil in themselves, but they have had one unhappy effect on college life: We no longer get those diamonds-in-the-rough who provided such joy for the teacher — those boys and girls from different traditions and backgrounds, “unspoiled” by more ef­ fete, modem ways but intelligent and eager, ready to shine under a teacher’s devoted hand. Today the boy from the lower East Side and the girl from Chestnut Level arrive with relatively the same mannerisms and material baggage. It is harder, and much less interesting, to tell where a student comes from. This uniformity, uy, be ue ll it uuieu, noted, jo is uul not primarily the restsuit of any psychological need to conform. (I doubt that this need is essentially different from that found in students of 20 or 30 years ago. ) Today’s students simply live in a less differentiated society; there are fewer patterns with which to conform. There is, also, the disappearance of the responsible individual in our so­ ciety — his disappearance into a web of social roles and group memberships. Once we could identify stuffed shirts in high places and complain about them; now it appears that substituting a group image for the individual man is a major national trend. Instead of bad decisions by responsible officials, we have mediocre decisions by anonmous committees. Instead of leader­ ship, we have administration. Instead of a Teapot Dome scandal, in which a few scoundrels lined their pockets at public expense, we have corporate immorality. Vast networks of functions are performed, and in the end an im­ moral effect is achieved; but we can find in such a network no individual to blame nor anyone who feels guilt. Another factor in our civilization which inhibits political initiative is the Cold War. In the Cold War era, people feel they must not move lest something snap. But people cannot live in the condition of being constant­ ly poised to run for cover. So, wishing for stability, it is easy to convince one­ self that everything is fine and will stay that way. Students, at any rate, tend to see present arrangements in our society as likely to persist indefi­ nitely, provided we all are not exter­ minated. It is easier to imagine ex­ termination than to imagine social change. This is not a good climate for dedication to social reform. GRANTING that the present phase may be due more to rigidity than to genuine stability, the contrasts with other recent periods of our history are nonetheless marked. We do not ex­ perience the mobility, the open-end­ edness, the excitement of wartime, or of a depression era, or of a jazz age. Correspondingly, there is relative quiet on the intellectual and ideological fronts. In the early years of this century we had the movement toward greater freedom for women; in the twenties we had Freud and the revolution in morals; in the thirties we had the depression and social change; in the forties we had war, fervent democratic idealism, imaginative post-war plans, What are the big ideas of the present? The surly and automatic anti-com­ munism of recent years has not been exactly inspiring. Efforts to bring about a return to religion, or to evolve a new religious outlook, have been feeble. One hears little intellectual discussion on the campus for the sim­ ple reason that there is not very much to discuss. And in many of our leading institu­ tions, there is no time for truly in­ tellectual matters; the faculty and their recruits are preoccupied with their own little scientific and scholar­ ly specialties. Times will undoubtedly change, and new ideas will appear, but for the time being we are in the cultural and intellectual doldrums. This I would set down as a major source of current lethargy. Not only are students not inspired by the scholarship in which their teachers willy-nilly participate; they are put to sleep by it. But undoubtedly the most serious effect of the Cold War has been moral deterioration in our national life. Thomas Mann, I think, was the first to say that the worst thing about total­ itarianism was that it forced its oppo­ nents to imitate its methods. Over the years, a gradual identification with the enemy has been taking place. Loud voices in this country have been de­ manding that we ought to fight fire with fire. Any means are justified, so long as they are believed to contribute to the defeat of communism. Control of J the press, the manufacture of opinion, the manipulation of people in the in­ terests of some temporary strategy, the acceptance of brutality as an or­ dinary part of modern life: these have become common in high places. Al­ most any national plan for reducing international tensions is immediately labeled “soft on communism”; almost any plan for improving our national life is condemned as “socialistic.” When some thoughts cannot be allow­ ed, all thinking tends to deteriorate in quality; myths and stereotypes flourish; and wishful or fearful rumin­ ations take the place of realistic attacks on problems. In short, the country is brought to a state in which thinking itself is impaired. STUDENTS DIFFER, of course, in their response to the present state of affairs. Many never become aware of the situation in the larger society. Liberal education fails-to reach them and they never enter the phase of social criticism. Stuck with beliefs and values automatically accepted long before they entered college, they go on to become unthinking cogs in the social machinery. Others take a hard look at their society and decide it is not for them; instead of actively re­ belling, they refuse to become in___ C4-.T volved. Still others, , perhaps the _others _ well largest group, see the situation enough and decide to “play it cool.” To make sure that they find a com­ fortable place in the world, they be­ come respectable professional people; but they keep certain reservations about society to themselves and may even promise themselves to take a hand later on. Finally, there is the minority who take action now. Perhaps things are not as bad as I have suggested. We may take hope from the fact that, when corruption or folly is revealed in high places, there are a great many people who are still capable of being shocked. And when something imaginative and positive, like the Peace Corps, is put forward, the response is most encouraging. It is here that teachers have a cru­ cial role to play. No one is in a better position than they to think about our goals and to represent the best in our traditions. They can strive to under­ stand the situation of students, and to tell the truth to the young. Whether they desire it or not, they are bound to serve as models for the young, who will be guided not so much by what their teachers say as by what their teachers are. page 132 4 Annual Alumni Varsity Baseball CLASH A t.

ALUMNI - 1 I V• i �NO MATTER what richness of materials man may employ, no matter what sources of energy he may tame to modify them for his purposes, man still needs to use men in order to carry out most of his plans and programs. MAN'S USE OF MEN by Vannevar Bush Dr. Vannevar Bush, honorary chairman of the Corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been one of the nation's leaders in the rapid development of science and engineering during the last forty years. He is best known as a pioneer in computer technology and for his service in mobilizing science during World War II. He is former dean of the School of Engineering at M.I.T. and former president of the Carnegie Institution. He was one of the founders of Raytheon Manufacturing Company and has contributed to other industrial developments. He is former chairman of the board of Merck and Company. He received his BE. and ME. degrees from Tufts College in 1913 and a D. Eng. degree in 1916 from Harvard University and M.I.T. under a joint arrangement then existing between the two Institutions. In 1938 Dr. Bush left M.I.T. to become president of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., one of the outstanding American scientific research organizations. His administration was marked by increasing effectiveness in research through coordination with other Institutions. Dr. Bush was a central figure in the development of nuclear fission, culminating in the utilization of atomic bombs to bring the war to an end. Dr. Bush is the author of Operational Circuit Analysis (1929) and many technical articles, and the co-author, with William Henry Timbie. of Principles, now in its fourth edition. A collection of his papers and addresses was issued in 1946 under the title Endless Horizons, with a foreword by the late Frank B. Jewett. Dr. Bush’s most widely known publication is Modern Arms and Free Men. a discussion of the role of science in preserving democratic institutions. Not all. The poet may still create alone. The scientist may still, not often, produce new concepts in a cloister. The artist may have visions and transfer them to canvas in essential solitude. But the great structures and the masses of manufactured goods which feed, clothe, house, transport, amuse, and arm a modern civilization are pro­ duced only when men command men. The history of the relationship by which this has been accomplished is a seamy one. The slaves on which all the old civilization depended were usually treated worse than the cattle they tended. Under the feudel system they were given new names but treated as badly. The coming of the industrial revolution, with its mill towns, children work­ ing to the limit of their strength, men and women held in a bondage as secure as though chained because they could not move or plan together, did not introduce man’s cru­ elty to man; it merely made it more evident. We live in a different sort of world. Not everywhere. Poverty still continues over much of the earth, with man in bondage to his elementary needs, and it will so continue unless and until man learns to restrict his numbers. Poverty still exists in this country, and will so continue until we solve the problem of utilizing the work of the unskilled and the unteachable in an economy where machines call only for skill. This country has a higher standard of living by far than has ever before been witnessed in the long struggle for living space and secu­ rity, higher by far than elsewhere today. And, in spite of absurdities, skulduggery, ignorance, and sloth, this coun­ try will maintain its security and advance its material prosperity. With this comes a whole new set of relation­ ships by which men control men, by which gradually men learn to work together for common purposes, without servility, with freedom and opportunity unencumbered by class distinctions, but with discipline, essential to organization, and not inconsistent with liberty in its high­ est sense. it is hence incumbent upon those who operate with re­ sponsibility in the new system to learn and understand new interrelationships between men, to encompass in their culture a deeper concept of leadership. IT IS OFTEN SAID that this is the age of applied sci­ ence. The exponential burst of research, following the striking examples brought out by the war, pervades our governmental programs, our universities, and our in­ dustry. An accumulated treasure of basic science gathered by many years of patient work by scholars, refined and ex­ tended by thousands of workers, often unappreciated, un­ known to a public interested in more readily grasped trivialities, is ripe for exploitation. We have seen physics, built over a century, suddenly flower in the ramifications of electronics, in the energy of the riven atom. Chem­ istry, long a dull subject, in its complexity, now gives us materials that sparkle and that are pliant to our wishes. Biology is just coming to its great days. True, the ad­ vances in medicine, dependent upon chemistry and biol­ ogy, have been notable. In fact, they have caused some of our troubles by cutting death rates and leaving birth rates untouched. But they have also rendered our lives longer, healthier, and saner. Yet the great days of biology lie ahead. A dam is about to break; a dam behind which is a story of magnificent and towering understanding of life. From this will come advances such as the world has not yet seen. Certainly it is an age of applied science. But it is also an age in which man’s relationships with his fellows are undergoing a transformation as fundamental, as essential to our safety and prosperity, as that of material affairs; more so, for upon a successful and salutary evolution of man’s methods of using men, upon the advent of better ways of use, of transforming use into collaboration, de­ pend the permanence and vitality of the free enterprise system which has made us great. It must be a bulwark against retrogression and chaos as the complexity of life mounts. THERE IS A FALLACY ABROAD to the effect that there are two forms of culture, one based on science and the other on the humanities, and that these are separate and bound to diverge. There are, indeed, two forms of culture, but no such distinction and separation as this. If we should ever separate in this way we would surely become inept at tackling our real problems. Rather let us consider two cultures on a more reasonable basis. The first form we may define on a pragmatic basis. It is the culture which is useful in dealing with the affairs of the practical world. It is, more explicitly, that knowledge and understanding which are the basis of wis­ dom in the conduct of our daily lives and in our influ­ ence upon the course of great events. It is this form of culture which I here treat. Beyond it lies a second form of culture which is not utilitarian. I will not forget this second form and will return to it. Culture in this practical sense consists of a knowledge of men. The first encompasses all of science, and all the empirical day-to-day understanding of materials, methods of using them, and the employment of power. By no means all of our knowledge of things has yet been for­ mulated in scientific terms. This whole field is becoming broadened and deepened as we learn more about the things we use, and about the way in which we ourselves and all living things are constituted. The Technology Review. Reprinted by permission. Copyright. 1963. page|34 Page 135 The record mounts, the structure of our knowledge of things in our journals and libraries, until it threatens to become unmanageable. A million men labor to build it, and a single man confronted with the resulting edifice is appalled. Science becomes fragmented into a hundred disciplines and the practitioners in some of these speak a jargon unintelligible to their neighbors. At one end of the spectrum lies nuclear physics, thoroughly confused by dozens of elementary particles, employing bizarre mathematics, abandoning causality, acknowledging the limits set by indeterminism, realizing that even its logic is now assailable, confronted by mysteries which seem to lie within its realm, but which nevertheless are incom­ prehensible. At the other end of the spectrum lie subjects little formulated as yet into generalities and working hypotheses, where the functioning of the human brain is studied, and even the basic definitions, the premises on which logic would rest, are vague and ephemeral. Our pursuit of the knowledge of things has led us to a point where not only is it becoming more and more abstruse, but there are many more new things and new relations to know than a single individual with his limited intellect and his short life can possibly grasp. The second phase of pragmatic culture, the knowledge of men, is also blossoming, though not yet in the spectacular manner of the knowledge of things. That it will thus blossom is inevitable as man learns better to understand himself and his fellows. AT THE ROOTS of both phases of pragmatic culture lie classical subjects. Behind all the present wild expansion of knowledge of things, classical physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology still hold their essential place and must be grasped before those who aspire to extend and create in specialized areas can safely soar off the ground. Similarly, in the knowledge of men the classic study of the past still holds its traditional power. History, biog­ raphy, literature are still basic. The study of ways in which men have for some thousands of years met their personal problems and the relations with their fellows, their successes and failures, their aberrations and their abnormalities, their cruelties and their generosities, their motivations and their blind surges, still forms the basis on which we can contend with the problems of the present day. It is well that in so doing we recognize that the environment under which men act has altered radically, for history can mislead unless thus qualified. We can assert also that history which ignores all those who did not live on the shores of the Mediterranean is not sound history. The life and motivations of Alexander are not more revealing than those of Genghis Khan, and the management of a far-flung empire by the latter was cer­ tainly more effective. The myths of the forests of Ger­ many, imaging a philosophy of man’s relations on this earth, are far less penetrating, far less civilized if you will, than the quiet ponderings of Chuang-tzu. Classic study in the humanities is basic to an understanding of �men in the intricate relations that now obtain, but classic study can itself he narrow. Just as basic science leads to intermediate disciplines geology, meteorology, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and so on - so the study of man progresses to economics, political science, psychology, sociology, labor relations, and a host of other subjects. Here, too, there is expan­ sion and ramification, and there is a slow refinement. In particular the handling of data, the statistics at the basis of many of these branches, is being rendered far more reliable and revealing. Just as in the knowledge of things, however, the scope of explicit knowledge of men and their relations is becoming so wide and deep that an individual confronted with its extent and complexity is appalled and often discouraged. BY NO MEANS all of culture is acquired by formal study and the readings of books. The youngster of today does not have to be taught how- to diagnose a misfunction in an automobile. One is not taught in school how to confront a bully on a street corner. We learn by all of cur experience and, of this, formal study is only a part. This is particularly true of the knowledge of men. Nelson knew men; this, more than the weight of guns or skill in managing a crippled square-rigged ship, accounted for Trafalgar. His knowledge was acquired by dealing with men. Roosevelt knew men as a result of his experience in practical politics, knew them perhaps better than he understood economics, perhaps not; but it was this knowl­ edge that carried him to the presidency at a critical time. If is possible to go about the world and learn little from .-changes with men of all sorts of background, education, and experiences. But it is also possible to learn wisdom in human relationships without ever going to college, as t he success of many a leader attests. Common sense is a much misused term, but it connotes something valuable and mysterious which transcends formulas or expositions. A great difference between men arises according to whether they do or do not pay' attention to their daily experiences, and this in turn depends upon whether or not they are determined to learn. < Continuity of learning, the imbedded habit of acquiring new knowledge, is paramount in the acquisition of cul­ ture. He who stops growing in his grasp of his environ­ ment and of his fellows, when clad in medieval garments he receives a parchment testifying that he is entitled to add letters after his name - such a man may be dis­ counted in the tumult of competitive society. Do not smile at the old man whose race is run and who still delves in his books and records; he exemplifies a deter­ mination which will cease only when he dies, and which he will not abandon because it has carried him far and gives him assurance that he still lives. Men differ in their innate capabilities, in the intricate structure of the cells of their brains, inherited from their ancestors. They also differ greatly because of the ways they were molded in their pliant youthful years. But they differ also in their ambition and their motivations, and these arc- by no means merely a product of heredity and environment. If man is more than an automaton, as I believe he is, if he is a master of his acts, if he has the will to rise, he will have also the intense urge to learn throughout his whole life. Opportunity lies all about us, every day. It is found in all the media of mass communication, and it is also found in every human contact. If there is serious intent, the acquisition of knowledge is perennial and cumulative. Do not misunderstand me at this point. No man can spend all of his time in conferences, serious reading, self­ analysis, without going stale. Recreation and relief are essential to continued sanity. A sense of humor is often a shield against weariness and frustration. Any man who does not find his fellows amusing should, in particular, keep out of participation in the national government. A light touch will open doors that are closed to a heavy hand. I would not lessen your enjoyment of life one iota as you proceed. I would merely emphasize as strongly as I know how that learning is the central cri­ terion of the cultured man, that it does not belong to youth alone, and that it creates strength and yields satis­ faction as long as life lasts. THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT that we in this country­ can continue to enhance our material prosperity. There is great doubt whether we can perpetuate the blessings of our democratic system, in the presence of racial prob­ lems, the power of pressure groups, the apathy of the public, and failure on the part of the electorate to grasp the essence of its own welfare. I do not include the threat of communism, for I have no question that we can defend ourselves, militarily and economically, if we can keep our own house in order. There is question whether we can operate a welfare state, as we should and must, without overdoing this salutary effort and forcing our­ selves into inflation or out of the competitive world mar­ ket. There is question whether we can arrive in time at a statesmanship of the leaders of labor and industry sufficient to achieve a just distribution of the fruits of industry without demoralizing strife. There is question whether as a nation we can develop in peace a patriotism such as we demonstrate in war, and on this basis work for the true national welfare as a goal which submerges petty jealousies and avarice. This will depend upon whether we experience a spiritual renaissance — not necessarily in some formal sense, but in the sense of un­ selfishness and altruism, in the sense of devotion to a common and worthy cause. It will also depend upon whether we fully know and understand men, whether we fully acquire the culture which is at the basis of wisdom. What do we do, how should we operate, as the scene be­ comes more and more complex, as the problem of the grasp of nature and the ways of men ramifies until it is utterly impossible for one to be fully cultured in the unlimited sense of understanding both completely? For­ tunately it is by no means necessary that this should Iiniji! 13G occur. No one man can grasp it all, but many men working together can grasp a sufficient range to operate great projects. The professions differ in their emphasis. The scientist places his main thought on things, on the laws of nature as far as formulated and on working hy­ potheses elsewhere. The lawyer deals primarly with the relations of men, one to another and in their industrial organizations, with government, and in government. Nei­ ther can afford to ignore totally the other phase of culture. The engineer stands squarely in the middle, to apply science in an economic manner to the needs and desires of men, knowing enough about science to do so with skill and effectiveness and enough about men to work with them in a myriad of ways. Businessmen usually put their emphasis on men but are seriously handicapped in these technical days if that is all they know. All professional men are confronted with the dilemma that there is much too much they need to know and too little time in which to learn it. One of the primary features of a knowledge of men is an understanding of how men of diverse talents may best pool their knowledge in a common effort. The doctor, the architect, or the chemist cannot possibly know all he needs to know for his professional work. He hence needs to know how he can find out. More important, he needs to be able — genuinely, honestly, generously — to collaborate with those who know more than he on diverse aspects of problems as they arise. The leader of a business cannot possibly fully understand finance, labor relations, accounting, marketing, production, trends in industry, the course of legislation, public relations, personnel. He can, if he is able, gather about him a group that does thus understand; the measure of his ability is largely his skill in doing so. It is well, it is even necessary, that he excel personally in some field in order that he may have the respect of his associates. But he can be wise, in all the manifold ways in which he needs to be wise, only if he selects and has the loyalty of an able crew. This, in my opinion, rests primarily upon whether or not he has their interests as fully at heart as his own, or those of his business. This should call for no soft approach, although it sometimes does. It calls rather for a deep knowledge of men, their aspirations, their strengths and weaknesses, their ethical convictions, their philosophy of life. It calls also for a genuine liking of his fellow men. No society can function well without privilege. No nation can long endure unless those who are privileged also assume responsibility and are devoted to the nation’s welfare. The privileges of birth have faded; the privileges of wealth are taking new forms. Those who are privileged today are those who have had full opportunity to learn, who have been enabled to acquire culture. They are still few among the great mass of the people and it is their duty to lead. They are found in the professions, and they are found in business, for management of business is now a profession. The touchstone of a true profession is ministry to the people, exercised with pride, insistent upon the authority which true scholarship should com­ mand. The professions are burdened by charlatans, by hypocrites, by stuffed shirts; I do not speak of these. I niimi|37 speak rather of that small company of those who lead, who guide their fellows over rough places, who determine the course of all our affairs, by reason of their superior knowledge and their ability to use it wisely. These are the men of culture in its modern and its salutary sense. It is they who, by reason of their knowledge of things and of men, by reason of wisdom based thereon, are building the world in which our children may lead happy lives. AS WE VIEW the vast range of science and the human­ ities, as we watch them grow at a breakneck pace, as we contemplate the frailty of our intellect in trying to grasp it all, there is a development today which may come to our rescue. It may not come in time to significantly lighten the burden of the generation here represented. In the long run it will transform the lives and the thoughts of men. Some generations ago there began the industrial revolu­ tion. Men learned to harness power to supplement their muscles. We have seen this expand, as science has be­ come broadly applied, until it has transformed our pro­ duction, transportation, communication, until it has over­ come diseases and promised relief from mental abnormal­ ity, until it has shown its ability to banish poverty, and to guard men from the ravages of nature. It has rendered war absurd even though it has made it terrible and not impossible. It can remove the evils which have caused wars in the past if we allow it to do so. It can render this earth a pleasant place on which to live. We are at the beginning of a new revolution. Man is today building machines that think, that can thus aid him to manage the complexity which he has created. So far these are simple machines — complicated, but not com­ plex. They aid him in his business computations, handle for him great masses of data, and solve his mathematical problems. But thinking machines are still in their in­ fancy. In time they will become mature. They already compose music, play chess, translate languages, write poetry — not well, for they are still young, but they will soon be taught to do better. They can learn from their own experience. They can communicate with one another. Their memories are still limited but are growing, and their memories do not fade. They' can attack, and they do, problems where the very magnitude of the data in­ volved, or the abstruseness and extent of the mathematics necessary, or the subtlety of the economic interrelations involved, render unaided man’s attempts at solutions childlike. They will always be man’s slaves, for a man can do without a machine but a machine cannot do with­ out a man. In their full maturity they will extend the power of man’s mental processes as fully as the machine has extended his manual strength and dexterity. They will enable man to understand things, and to understand men, in ways and to an extent impossible without them. They have not yet arrived; they have just begun to func­ tion. They are not limited in their talents; in maturity they will be limited only by the fact that they are not men. They may arrive in time to prevent us from be- �T- coming so immersed in complexity that we lose sight of simple and homely truths, that we lose the wisdom with­ out which this civilization of ours cannot endure. I HAVE DISCUSSED the culture which is the basis of wisdom: wisdom in the practical affairs of men. If I stop here you will know that I have omitted something subtle and precious. I do not intend to stop here. Before I conclude, let me first speak of the rewards of culture as we have thus far treated it. The rewards are great but they do not come to every man who deserves them. Many a wise man is struck down by ill-health and ill-luck in the midst of a career. Many a one, also, aban­ dons a bright trail because of obligations to those he guards. But even to all these there is a satisfaction if they have labored well. The rewards are changing, they are being revalued, and they are often misunderstood. Holmes said, “The reward of the general is not a larger tent, but command.” The true reward is not even com­ mand; it transcends command. Many a man who has attained great power, by affluence or position, is not a happy man. Many a humble man is happy indeed. Satis­ faction, happiness in accomplishment, does not arrive merely because a man secures public acclaim. Some of the most unhappy, the most discontented people in the world circulate about Hollywood. Joy comes to the man of great responsibility only if he uses his power for worth­ while ends, and if he is judged to do so by his peers, by those of his associates and friends who in his opinion are entitled to judge him. The creator of a genetic code does not reap his reward because he has his name in headlines; he secures it if he is respected and admired by his col­ leagues. The physician does not have his reward in a fine office and an affluent practice; he finds it in the smile of a child he has rescued from misery. I know that, for every one who agrees with this summary, there are many who disagree, who plunge blindly on without attempting to evaluate their goals. Men plunge wildly because they do not stop to think where they are going, or what they seek. The primal instincts of self-preservation, of repro­ duction, are powerful, and they motivate most of the 7 i I I I population to the exclusion of all else. But I am not talking about the mass; I am speaking of those who have culture in the sense in which I have thus far used it. These, few in numbers, by their thoughts and acts deter­ mining the course of all their fellows, do plan their lives, and they do evaluate the rewards of success. To them, above material success as valued by the world, stands something more sacred: the realization of labor well done and the acclaim of the friends they love. None of us alone can save the world or save democracy. All of us that have a life still to lead can live lives of true satisfaction and know the joy of living. STILL I am not done. There is a culture beyond the pragmatic culture we have thus far discussed. It is not utilitarian, it is often misrepresented, it is indefinable, and it is essential to a full life. It can never be taught, although it can be exemplified. Often a technique can be taught which will enhance its strength, but the technique is not a part of the culture itself. This higher culture if often mistaken for its artificial substitute: the password to the halls of the elect, the shibboleth which has held together a governing class, sometimes the only bulwark against chaos among an immature people. To know Greek history in detail is not culture; to enjoy a striking passage in Homer is. O. Henry wrote, “No man has lived who has not known poverty, love, and war.” He left much out. No man has lived who has not stood entranced at the song of the thrush in a valley on a quiet evening, or who has not pondered at the honking of a flock of geese high over a frantic city in the still of night. No man has fully lived who has not rejoiced at the vigor of a spirited horse or the rage of a stormy sea. No man has lived who has not, in the quiet of his study, pondered on why he is here on this earth, why he is conscious that he exists, and what is his duty and his mission. There are indeed two kinds of culture. One can support the wisdom which will enable man to prosper and to live in peace with his fellows. The other can render life on this earth worth living. 3n ^Hemoriam WILLIAM H. THOMAS, age 44, Class of 1938, died recently at the East Orange Veterans Hos­ pital, East Orange, New Jersey.

Richard Probert, director of the thirtythree member chorus, states that the Col­ legians live up to their purpose by bring­ ing many students, both in the WilkesBarre area and in surrounding areas, as well as civic and cultural groups, in con­ tact with the accomplishments of Wilkes College. Included in this year jar's itinerary were con­ certs at high schools ns in Plymouth, Luzerne, Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton, I where the Collegians sang before 2,000 students. Other concerts were given for the West Side Women's Club, the Hanover Town­ ship Women's Club, the Y.M.C.A., the annual Fine Arts Fiesta, and at the Boston Store. The Collegians also sang in pro­ grams during Freshmen Weekend and at rhe recently-held Alumni Seminar during Spring Weekend. In their first tour this year, the Collegians sang in high schools in Sunbury, Lewis­ burg, and Lewistown before a total of 1,850 students. Their second tour included high schools in Springfield, Berkley Heights and Dover, New Jersey, and an evening concert for the Community Methodist Church in Kenil­ worth, New Jersey. They also sang at regional high schools in Easton and Bethiehem, Pennsylvania. Their audiences totaled over 4,700 on this tour. When on over-night tours, the Collegians stay at the homes of people in that area, which not only brings the men into personal contact with their audiences, but reduces the cost of such tours. Their tours have been very successful in gaining new friends for Wilkes. The Collegians' tours this year were fin­ anced by money earned from the sale of their record, "The Wilkes Collegians 1964," local concerts, and partly by funds provided by Student Government. Any alumnus interested in arranging for a concert by the Wilkes Collegians for the 1964-65 college year is asked to write immediately to the Alumni Office at the allege. Please direct all inquiries to the Director of Alumni Relations. Iiarji! 139 W |5 4^ -tm- Presently on sale by the Collegians is an excellent record recently released by the group, "Wilkes Collegians - 1964." In­ cluded in the repertoire of songs is Broth­ ers Sing On. This has been the Collegians opening number for many years. It is perhaps the first song a freshmen sings when he enters the chorus and the last when he leaves as a graduate. Komm Susser Tod - by J. S. Bach, originally writ­ ten for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, and was sung as a hymn. The Students' March Song — comes from Sigmund Romberg's famous operetta, "The Student Prince." Rolling Down to Rio — a poem by Rudyard Kiplir>~ ing, set to music by Edward German. Grar.« mdfather's Clock - often thought of as a folk song, written by Henry Work in 1867. The Col >llegians arrangement adds the chimes and the wood-block to give it added zest. Dave Jones, a four-year mem­ ber of the Collegians, is the soloist. To a Wine Jug — a contemporary setting of an anonymous Greek poem that describes the effects wine has on the human mind. With its cross accents, tonal clashes, and lively tempo, this work is a delight to sing and hear. Rigoletto Quartet — by G. Verdi. It has been arranged for male voices and the words have been changed to a hum­ orous "take-off" of the famous operatic quartet. Windmung (Dedication) was writ­ ten by Robert Franz as a baritone solo. The beautiful melody lends itself well for male voice arrangements. The song ex­ presses the singer's thanks to God for giving him a voice that sings. On side two, the Collegians decided to present various folk songs of different origin and style. Russian Picnic, a Russian the story of the fun the they dance on the banks Volga." Gene Kelleher, a Please send me folk ---- --ng, sone tells people have as of the "Mother math major, is the tenor soloist. John Peel takes us to the English countryside where fox hunting seems to be the favorite pastime. Unlike most hunting songs, John Peel is sad, for it tells how John Peel's passing away means that his hunting horn is silent for­ ever. Down Among the Dead Men, an Eng­ lish drinking song, is dedicated to the Wine God Bacchus. This song was first printed in 1751 and was popular in the beer halls of England that flourished in that period. Li'l Liza Jane, an American folk song, represents the negro folk ele­ ment found in American songs. Ed Pashin­ ski, the Freshmen class president, is tenor soloist. Shenandoah is an American sea shanty. The soloist is John Hyer, baritone. Blow the Man Down is known as a hal­ yard shanty which simply means "rope" shanty.

She wore Number 1 . . . scored high­ est in Talent and walked away with that treasured Award . . . and by virtue of superb poise, charm, personality, beauty of face and figure, all coupled with abundance in talent . . . she won the coveted title of "Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania." Needless to say the young lady was very proud . . . and so too were we, for she attends Wilkes College . . . namely, MISS JERRY JEAN BAIRD. Jerry, as she is known by her many friends, is a Junior student at Wilkes working toward a bach­ elor of science degree in Business Administration in Economics. The Pageant in which Jerry earned this Title was a Miss America Preliminary Contest, winner of which enters the "Miss Pennsylvania Pageant". . . in this case, Jerry Jean. The "Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania" Pageant was co-sponsored by the Junior Chambers of Commerce of Greater WilkesBarre and Greater Pittston. Earlier we mentioned Jerry won the Talent Award at the Pageant . . . which was earned through her inspiring and moving dramatic read­ ing of the death sentence scene from Maxwell Anderson's "Mary, Queen of Scots." Adding further authenticity to her presentation, she wore the appropriate gown secured through Cue and Curtain. Jerry Jean is shown here immediately follow­ ing the good news announcement where she is being crowned by Cheryl Lynne Kegley, "Miss Pennsylvania" for this year. Attending at left is the former winner of the "Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania" Crown, Karen Gerstein of Plymouth. The gown worn by Jerry Jean is her original crea­ tion. To borrow a phrase . . . "That was the week that was," for Jerry Jean, because she was elected President of the Cheerleaders at Wilkes . . . and, she was Chairman of the Cinderella Ball, the latter having been held the night before the Pageant, which also was Dress Rehearsal . . .

Business has gained in responsibility and vision, and government has assumed increas­ ing powers of economic control. There are those who fear the continuous growth of governmental powers but there is little doubt that revolutionary changes compel the assumption of new responsibilities by government. It is apparent, how­ ever, that thoughtful and responsible citizens must concern themselves with the nature and extent of governmental power. We are now at a crucial period when men must decide upon the re­ lations of the private and government sectors of our economy. If we are to maintain and strengthen the economic-political system that has com­ bined the highest standard of living yet attained by men with the max­ imum of freedom of action and of opportunity, the people of this country must decide upon the course they wish to follow. In a general sense three choices are open to us. They are: Will we expect government to strengthen our present economicpolitical system by creating conditions that promote its growth and assist in the resolution of its critical problems — Or Will we expect government to limit the freedom of our economy by imposing controls and restrictions that curtail the vitality and crea­ tive efforts of free men — Or Will we expect government to assume the ownership of our produc­ tive resources with its consequent control of employment, of business, and of thought? The dedication of the new Research and Graduate Center illustrates the results that can be attained through the joint efforts of the private and public sectors of our economy. Friends, businesses, and Founda­ tions gave $2,250,000 toward the development of this extension of our science facilities in Stark Hall. The Federal Government, through A.R.A., gave $400,000 so that we could add the new Research Center. The initia­ tive for this effort came from individuals; the responsibility for its ad­ ministration rests with the College; but the financing has been shared by the public and private sectors of our economy. This is the growing pat­ tern of development and of redevelopment in many sections of the country. Possibly, as Austin Kiplinger has recently stated, we are un­ consciously developing a new economic system based upon a partnership between business and government. This partnership may have developed without any great public awareness, but great awareness is needed if a productive balance is to be attained and then maintained. THROUGH " WIDER regional horizons • ''ILEBS C OLbB G E CONVOCATION It is hoped and expected that the varied points of view presented by our speakers will stimulate thoughtful consideration of this emerging problem.

AN EMERGING ECONOMY �A region that places its full dependence for prosperity in its natural resources faces social and economic disaster when these resources are exhausted, or their use is curtailed. its market and new uses have yet to be discovered. To restore its econ­ omy, Northeastern Pennsylvania must attract and develop new indus­ tries. It should not, however, neglect its basic industry. Research and technology may yet discover new uses for this great resource upon which our regional economy was based for nearly one hundred years. A region that depends upon its geographic position for its prosperity can be destroyed by changes in other areas, and by new methods methods of of transportation. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, an era of new growth begins, as an era of dependence upon natural resources ends. Regional leaders recog­ nize our regional needs. In consequence, they have organized and have formulated plans for new growth. They have formulated attainable ob­ jectives and move consistently toward their realization. They have founded colleges to educate their young people. They persistently strive to improve their regional image by improving their local condition. They formulate and reformulate, modify and expand plans for regional develop­ ment. As a part of this regional effort, we are today dedicating a Research and Graduate Center that will extend the education of our people beyond the undergraduate years. It will at the same time add to our growing store of scientific knowledge and will increase our technical competence. This Center will bring together scientific personnel and will provide re­ search facilities required by modem technological industries. By meet­ ing this single need, one more element essential to regional economic growth is made available. Over the years, Northeastern Pennsylvania has experienced three phases in its efforts to build a new economy. The first phase was an unorganized attempt, by enlightened individuals, to fill vacant factories with any industry that would create jobs. The second was the creation of an organization that could acquire sites and develop long-range plans. The third phase, an outgrowth of the first two, is concerned with the creation of an environment that will attract modern industries requiring scientific and technical personnel. By way of contrast — a region that nurtures the talents of its people creates the soundest foundation for social stability and economic growth Although history reveals no guarantee of a lasting prosperity the intelligence and character of men provide the surest base for stability and growth. The society that cultivates the intelligence and character of its youth, multiplies its productive capacity from generation to genera­ tion. For three centuries Pennsylvania prospered because of its natural resources and its advantageous geographic location. During the colonial period, Pennsylvania was the center of the colonies, and the Delaware River assured communication with other colonies and with the rest of the world. Furs were the earliest of the great natural resources to be exploited and shipped abroad. Furs were followed by timber, and in turn, timber gave way to iron and coal. Slowly these great natural resources were exploited to the point of exhaustion. The fur trade disappeared as fur-bearing animals were ex­ terminated by excessive trapping. The great timber resources were de­ molished by hungry lumbermen and steel producers. Lumbermen cut trees with little regard for the future, and early steel producers devasted thousands of acres of prime timber to feed the insatiable appetites of their furnaces. By the end of the nineteenth century, the great stands of timber and local iron deposits were both exhausted. At the turn of the century coal was king, and northeastern and western Pennsylvania were enjoying an era of prosperity. Anthracite from the northeastern section of the state heated homes and offices of the East. Bituminous coal from western Pennsylvania fed the steel fur­ naces of Pittsburgh while the Great Lakes and the Ohio River provided economical transportation for iron ore from Minnesota. by Dr. E ugene S. Farley Regional Development hat Is The Problem? patjt;](i This type of personnel is in short supply and in great demand; it can select its place of work. Because of this fact, industry requiring such personnel is compelled to locate in areas that provide a favorable environ­ ment. The administrative and scientific personnel associated with modern technological industries have known cultural advantages. They are unwilling to bring their families to an area that does not offer the benefits of a highly developed culture. To attract this type of personnel, and the industries that depend upon this trained intelligence, a region must develop cultural advantages of the highest order. For half a century it seemed that both areas were destined, because of their resources and their accessibility, to endure lasting prosperity. But their great advantages diminished with time and change, so that today both areas are engaged in a struggle to build a new and more last­ ing economy. Pittsburgh lost its preferred position when the great iron deposits of the Mesabi Range were depleted. Northeastern Pennsylvania lost its prosperity when competing fuels and rising costs reduced the market for anthracite. Although the great coal resources of neither section are exhausted, the economies of both have been upset by changing conditions. In the West, steel production no longer provides an adequate market for bitu­ minous coal, but the growing demand for electricity steadily increases the consumption of soft coal. Unfortunately no great new use holds forth a similar promise for anthracite. Competitive fuels have reduced In Wyoming Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania, we are pain­ fully engaged in creating such an environment. All who have struggled long in this effort know that much has been done. They are aware that much more must be done. 0 « The Science Center that we are dedicating is but one of many factors essential to the development of a favorable environment By itself it is of no great significance. Its full significance and use depend upon compre­ hensive planning and coordinated effort. Only because the Trustees, Faculty, Friends, and Officers of Wilkes College are convinced that such a Center is essential to the accomplishment of larger regional objectives. �were they willing to give of then- resources and their energies for the construction of this new Center. January is named for Janus, the Roman God of Gates and Doors. He is pictured with two faces — one looking forward, the other looking backward. As we begin this New Year here, looking forward in dimen­ sions which would shock worshipers of Janus, we should also be mindful of the history of our economic revitalization. Past experience gives confidence that this step forward will lead to other advances. In the past, each forward step has created new oppor­ tunities and imposed new obligations. This Research and Graduate Center also will create new opportunities and impose new obligations This sequence is inevitable for progress that is based on creative vision cooperative effort, and sound achievement is not easily halted. These three — vision, cooperation, and achievement have made possible this latest step in the development of a College and the redevelopment of a Region. They will make possible further and greater developments in the future. Over the years, starting in the 1880’s, there was a general conscious­ ness that this area was too dependent on a single industry. Early minutes of the Wilkes-Barre Board of Trade reflect concern, but nothing other than sporadic efforts were made. The prosperity of a booming anthracite industry was a potent soporific. The various difficulties experienced by our principal industry in adjusting to modernization were minimized or ignored. The area, then, continued to drift, its future tied completely to the anthracite industry. Today, both our Region and our State are making the difficult tran­ sition from dependence upon natural resources and geographic location to reliance upon our human resources. Harsh experience has taught us that we can expect no prosperity in our future unless we cultivate the resources of mind and spirit. In 1900 Walter Hines Page, initiating the social and economic renais­ sance that has made possible the great progress in North Carolina, wrote: “. . . By the right training of men, we add to the wealth of the world. All wealth is the creation of man, and he creates it only in proportion to the trained uses of the community; and, the more men we train, the more wealth everyone may create.” I t The road ahead is not easy, nor is our final objective in sight. With vision, with intelligence, with patience, with planning, and with coopera­ tion we will attain our immediate goals. Once they are attained we will envision new goals that today may seem impracticable and unattainable. Long ago Tennyson, describing the experiences of those who quest for something finer, placed these words on the lips of Ulysses: But the intoxication with anthracite began to wear off. The War Years were wonderful, but after a high of coal production in Luzerne County of nearly 26,000,000 tons in 1942, the figure was 21,000,000 tons in 1945. Levittown and other literally new cities were being built, and were being heated by competitive fuels. As coal production tumbled, rumblings of activity started. By 1949, production in the county was at 16,000,000 tons — and employment had fallen to a new low, less than 30,000 em­ ployees. Against this background, the first really organized campaign for in­ dustrial funds was run in 1949, and $256,000 was raised. These funds were used to construct two shell buildings on lower Carey Avenue. Although the original tenants no longer occupy them, the shells are now occupied by flourishing and successful businesses. Nineteen hundred forty-nine also saw the advent of several other significant industries. .. I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untraveled world, whose margins fade Forever and forever as I move.” page|B As our country struggled to get out of the great Depression, a deter­ mined local group activated an aggressive organization for the first time in the late thirties. Some of the members of that group are with us today as our most distinguished citizens. My earliest memory as a fledgling lawyer is of handling some of the details relative to the Welsh Aircraft Company, a plant in the Ashley area. These efforts, however, although visionary and orientated in exactly the proper direction, did not receive the broad community support to which they were entitled. They were like the Biblical seed which fell on barren ground. The community at that time did not provide the necessary fertile soil of funds to bring these early efforts to fruition. I It soon became apparent that the organized efforts, heroic though they were, would have to be multiplied. By 1951, county coal production was less than 15,000,000 tons and still falling. Groups of persons, seriously concerned with the impending economic disaster and emigration from the area as the supply of jobs diminished, met at Percy Brown’s to determine a course of action. From these meetings sprung a new group, The Com­ mittee of 100, which drafted William 0. Sword to undertake the leader­ ship in organizing our economic redevelopment. He asked for and re­ ceived unqualified pledges of support from the Committee of 100, which by Attorney Andrew Hourigan, Jr. Past President Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; Member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees page 19 �Committee noi nor ±uu, 100, but in,essence the was neither a committee uul was woo m me vast bulk of iour commercial, mercantile, professional and industrial leaders. This bei *gan the second phase of our development of which Dr. Farley spoke. The wheels of action were soon moving. The community, through sheer adversity, was now ready. Its citizens were galvanized into action by a dynamic leader. Funds were obviously needed. By 1952, a fullfledged, well-organized campaign was mounted. Prospects were billed not solicited for their pledges. And they accepted and paid these bills to the tune of $739,000 — a fantastic result for the theretofore complacent community. Enthusiasm mounted. new falls in anthracite employment. Despite all of our efforts and the almost spontaneous growth of the needlework industries, the area con­ tinued annually to lose more jobs than it created. The organized effort therefore redoubled its efforts. In 1958, another campaign raised $650,000 of new pledges. The succeeding years saw the advent of Prestige Shoe Company, Metropolitan Wire Goods Company and R.C.A. t This, then, begins to bring us into current focus. It was the R.C.A. insistence on availability of graduate training which started the new building on its way — and it was their recognition of the importance of research which encouraged Gene Farley to struggle for this research center. But funds alone could do little. Industrial prospects were solicited agressively. They demanded sites. It soon became obvious that the inven­ tory of available sites in the Valley was wholly inadequate. A team to develop sites, led by Sword and Frank Mueller, rode the Central Railroad of New Jersey looking for possible locations. In a moment of inspiration the tract which is now Crestwood Park was checked and quickly pur­ chased in 1952 — and the Foster Wheeler Corporation was the first plant. Encouraged with this success, Sword and his associates went into high gear. While they continued efforts to develop the new Industrial Park, they did not hesitate in 1953 to acquire the former Duplan Plant in Nanticoke for McGregor Sportswear. The effort was going well. Soon a second prospect, King Fifth Wheel Company, had a plant under con­ f\ struction at Crestwood in 1954. Zj But anthracite production continued its plunge. By 1955, the county production dipped below 10,000,000 tons for the first time. And The Industrial Fund had little unexpended cash. A new drive was mounted, and produced $757,000 in three year pledges. But our very success with R.C.A., even with the financial help of PIDA, strained our cash position. Again, in 1961, another and more ambitious fund-raising campaign was mounted. In every area, sights were lifted. The participation in the campaign of every employee in the Valley was sought. The goal was set at $1,500,000 and the campaign began. During it, several fortunate acquisitions encouraged the Valley in the arrival of Fibrous Glass Products Company, and Leslie Henry Company to take over the former Hess Goldsmith Plant. The campaign, meanwhile, was receiving remarkable support from both labor and management. At the final dinner, pledges of $1,720,000 were announced. This, then, rep­ resented the full maturity of Bill Sword’s baby! flB Funds were now available to do a really agressive job. Anthracite #■ \ production had bottomed out, and anthracite employment in the Valley was at about 5,000 men. But, most significantly, 1961 saw the creation of more jobs than we lost. Slowly, but steadily the scales began to balance favorably. Before those pledges were paid, amazing successes occurred. The Air Production Company, even then a young giant in the chemical field, located in the old Vulcan Plant in Hanover Township. Superior Combus­ tion, Inc., joined us. And then came Eberhard Faber to Crestwood. In 1956, the Labor-Management Citizens Committee came into exis­ tence. This was a citizen directed effort, supported by both labor and management to create a better climate and reputation in labor relations. Many people feel that this is> one of the most significant developments of a decade of growth. In this same period, The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority was created by the legislature. This authority at first provided thirty percent of all loans for industrial expansion, and this was later in­ creased to forty percent. With the State thus providing a substantial part of the investment for industrial plants, our funds could be used far moie effectively. paqt 10 And well it was. By the time the act was passed, anthracite pi°" duction was at 8,000,000 tons per year, and still falling. Every year saw A further boost for the organized efforts came with the revisions of the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Act. As now liberalized the PIDA will finance 40% instead of 30% of the loans. In addition, com­ munities such as ours which were aggressive in getting new industries in the early days of the PIDA, are now entitled to a credit for the 10% difference in the level of PIDA support on all loans outstanding at the lower rate of participation. As a result, the cash resources of The In­ dustrial Fund were never in better condition. Looking through Janus’ mythical door at the over-all accomplish­ ment in jobs, we find that 10,000 new jobs have been created since 1949. The United States Department of Commerce estimates that one indirect job results from every direct job created. This would thus indicate the economic impact of 20,000 new jobs in that period. i • All of this adds up to real maturity of our industrial development. At the outset, a panic button started the second phase of our efforts. Now as we face a transition in our professional staff from Frank Earnest to Edgar Lashford, we look ahead confidently. We’ve organized effectively and successfully. We’ve obtained substantial and successful industry. Fortified substantially with all of the basic techniques and experience, we can now take a look through the door to the future. Iraqi: 111 �outside the aff nl1 of the United States.

Research Center are a logical and a tangible token of gratitude to so many devoted people of this community who have never hesitated to sacrifice so that this story of accomplishment can be told. S9 However, this is not the major problem which we meet in our efforts to provide new jobs. Today we are confronted with the challenges of a new era. We face a new kind of competition for industrial plants and economic growth. We are in an era of technology and scientific develop­ ment. In order to compete for this kind of industry, we have much to do and we must face squarely the trends and the demands of the times. Perhaps our greatest challenge is in the realm of scientific education and research. Today we are moving to meet that challenge with the dedication of this Graduate and Research Center here at Wilkes College. This rep­ resents the fulfillment of a promise made to RCA by Dr. Farley some four years ago. This is both the fulfillment of a promise and the begin­ ning of a program which we hope and believe will be far reaching. But if we are to bring young scientists and their families to WilkesBarre, if we are to perpetuate our good traditions and develop our culture, we must look to our image — the image of our area. What do people else­ where think of us? It is time for a qualitative reappraisal of our commun­ ity. It is not enough that we evaluate our assets, but that we also attempt a realistic appraisal of our liabilities. Of our assets and strong points, we have heard a great deal as we have always tried to put our best foot for­ ward. We speak of our invigorating climate, of our beautiful mountains, of our manpower, transportation facilities, proximity to markets and many other favorable aspects of our area. I • paiii: | IE I ■ But let us be objective about our community problems. To para­ phrase Bobby Burns, let’s try to see ourselves as others see us. What is their preconceived notion of our city or perhaps more precisely, what is our reputation or image and when people come to visit us, what do they see? They see our friendly smiles and feel the warmth of our welcome, but they also see a community that has suffered from exploitation for generations. Exploitation of natural resources—lumber and coal. Exploita­ tion of our natural scenic beauty bj' subsidence, culm and spoil banks and by neglect. These visitors see our polluted river. Yes, and they gain an awareness of the exploitation of our people through impoverishment and of the practice of business, professional and political immorality. They measure us and find us lacking. In short, they find us mediocre in many respects. i 8 I I I E by Thomas H. Kiley President Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; Member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees paqi! 113 �I I mention these conditions and characteristics, not by way of self criticism, but to orient our thinking to the problems which we must solve We are faced with the challenge of a new era which threatens to pass us by. This is an era of science and technology. As Dr. Farley has re­ minded us many times, 90 per cent of the world’s scientists are living today and modern business is seeking out the areas where these scientific brains are located or where they can be educated. It is a privilege to be here this evening and to have a part in the dedication of the Science Center and an honor to be on the program with our distinguished Governor, whose strong leadership has been greatly responsible for the resurgent economy of our State. I First of all, I should like to express my deep appreciation to Gene Farley. And I hope you will not discount what I have to say in this re­ gard just because Dr. Farley, as a shareowner and director of PP&L, is one of my bosses. It is very clear to me that Gene Farley’s vision and enthusiasm, his indefatigable appetite for tackling the big and tough problems, his spirit of teamwork, have contributed most significantly both to the advance of Wilkes College and to the forward progress of this community and the entire region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. One of my earliest contacts with Gene was a visit with him at his office, and be­ fore our discussion had gone far he pulled out of his desk drawer the welldefined plans for the future development of Wilkes College for the next forty years. It impressed me then and impresses me now to recall the provisions for growth that were embodied in those plans — so indicative of his deep and optimistic foresight that Wilkes College would have to meet a rising demand for its services — due to growth in employment and population, and in order to provide an enlarged educational base for the people of this area. Few communities of our size have indulged in the extravagance of exporting their outstanding young people. But this we have done for years, for lack of opportunity or challenge at home. When we think of the future, we must think in terms of scientific education at the graduate level and of adequate educational and research facilities. We must think and plan in terms of quality. Not only quality of education at all levels, but quality of community development. Con­ tinuing progress requires a favorable environment in which to develop and this environment must be created if we are to build the image which will attract intellectually sophisticated people. New impetus should be given our urban renewal program. Our planning for new access highways and streets into Central City must be implemented. Programs for beauti­ fication of approaches to the city, of Public Square and of our parks must be pushed ahead. We are now promised the prompt completion of the long awaited tax reassessment program, which is a major step toward fiscal responsibility. I am sure none of us will doubt that great strides have been taken to correct our shortcomings. Over the past few years, an awareness has developed of the nature and scope of our problems and this of itself is half of the battle. What I am trying to say is what Mr. Harry Batten said to a group of his friends in Philadelphia who were discussing the seemingly insur­ mountable problems of their city back in 1948. Mr. Batten said, “The trouble with our city is us,” and with that forthright statement, began the Greater Philadelphia Movement. For the first time in generations, a small group of angry men faced up to Philadelphia’s problems and began to solve them. They had to create a new and favorable image for Phila­ delphia and they did. It is now our task to create a new and favorable image for WilkesBarre and what we are doing here at Wilkes College this weekend is a vital part of that program. But this is not enough. If we are to attract the type of industry which will dominate the nation’s economy of tomorrow, we must move rapidly to improve the image of our area in such a way that we will gain accept­ ance as a good place to live and work. p;iqn 114 f At the same time, as we all know, Dr. Farley has been much more than a planner. In this present time he has been a man of action, moving with great energy to bring into being the potentially fine future of this region. In specific terms, the creation of this new Science Center, ded­ icated here today, is a magnificent step towards the realization of this goal. But I have the pleasure of being with you this evening for a purpose other than to congratulate Dr. Farley, well deserved though such con­ gratulations are. My subject is “Industry and Regional Development.” What I have to say is not intended to be a scholarly discourse. My re­ marks will be confined to some specifics about this particular region, the anthracite region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. We all know what the problems are, how they came about, and what their principal consequences have been, particularly the consequence of out-migration of many of our young people because of the lack of job opportunities. On the other side of the ledger, we all agree that our com­ mon objective is and must be the revitalization of our regional economy, a revitalization that will provide the incentive for our young people to build their lives and homes here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. And we also agree that a key element in this revitalization is the expansion of diversified industry. As we view the recent past, we can properly take great encourage­ ment from the fine progress that has been made. For the region as a whole, we have broken away from that grim pattern in which year after year the record showed decrease after decrease in employment. Com­ pared with the early and middle 1950’s, when employment dropped by 45,000 in the years 1953 to 1958, we now have a record of reversal and gain in employment. Since 1958, there has been an increase of 22,000 in I s 8 I ffilili a by Jack K. Busby President Pennsylvania Power & Light Company paqn 15 �employment in the anthracite region. In the important category of man­ ufacturing employment, there has been a 16% gain since 1958. You will be interested to know that this is a substantially greater percentage gain than occurred during the same period for manufacturing employment in the State as a whole. — the profit performance of new businesses and their treat­ ment in the region after they have established new plants. — the record of labor-management relations. — the attitude of the labor force towards productivity. — the availability of attractive natural surroundings com­ bined with good recreational opportunities. — the availability of buildings and land for industrial use. — satisfactory services at the community and local govern­ ment levels. — the presence of excellent facilities and services to meet education, training, scientific and cultural needs, that is to say, the availability of facilities and services which are essential from the standpoint of providing wide-ranging opportunities for the individual growth and self develop­ ment of the employees of new industry. t • Yet, because we still have a relatively low employment base with fewer jobs than was the case some years ago, we naturally seek a faster rate of employment gains. Can we reasonably expect to accomplish this and, if so, how? In exploring the answer to this broad question, I will comment briefly on five underlying questions that are involved. 1. Do we meet the basic requirements for industrial growth? 2. What are our regional environment needs? 3. What kind of industry are we after? 4. What is our top priority need in the region? 5. What must we mainly rely on in rebuilding our regional economy? 1. The Basic Requirements The basic requirements for industrial growth for any region are threefold. They are — — convenience to markets, — availability of raw materials, and — an adequate labor force. We meet these basic requirements. Convenience to markets and avail­ ability of materials we have through our burgeoning highway system and other transportation media. It is a fact worth re-emphasizing that some 40 million people, and their associated industrial complexes, are within 100 miles of Wilkes-Barre. Fortifying this advantage, we have here in the region the required human resources — a skilled and improving labor force. page] 16 On many of these items a calm evaluation indicates that we rate quite well. This new Science Center is a most important plus for the entire region. If Certainly, though, much work remains to be done in some of these areas. While good progress has been made in raising the level of com­ munity and local services, we cannot forget that fire protection systems, water supply and sewage systems are in their way just as important and just as essential as educational, scientific and cultural facilities. We know, too, that we have to overcome the impairment of our natural sur­ roundings in some respects. But this we can do. I hope the plans that have been made for the planting of some 250,000 seedlings in this region this year will shortly be followed by programs carried forward by the interested citizenry of this region whereby we will plant for screening and ground cover not thousands but millions of seedlings — all within the next five years. I well recall a round of conversations that I had with managers of businesses and plants right here in Wilkes-Barre. Their comments on the skills and the attitudes of the citizens of this community were most favorable. The better-than-national record of work continuity was pointed to with pride. And, surprising though it may seem, I was told on more than one occasion that businesses formerly located in New York City were now able to do a better job in making on-time deliveries to their New York customers from their new Wilkes-Barre plants than had been the case previously. On such critical items as the current availability of buildings and land, the quality of labor-management relations, the attitude of the work force, the record of achievement of new businesses — in all of these we can stand up and be counted. But permit me to stress, if I may, that in industrial development we are really selling land. It is essential that communities make farsighted provisions to ensure the availability, at reasonable prices, of suitable land for industrial development; otherwise the natural growth potential will be curtailed and frustrated. Yet, clearly, it is not enough that we meet these three basic require­ ments of convenience to markets, availability of raw materials and an adequate labor force. Obviously, other regions and areas also meet these requirements. We well know that we cannot sit back. The pressures for more employment in this region are so great that there is a natural inclination to grasp at almost any industrial prospect which purports to offer continuing job opportunities. Yet this is the road to ruin. In seeking after new industry, in committing community and re­ gional resources to industrial growth, tough, quality requirements must be adhered to. The only kind of industry that can make continuing long­ term, substantial contributions to regional development is the kind of industry which meets quality standards. The first standard is that the industry be profitable. The only industry that can steadily grow, can 2. A Favorable Environment Once basic requirements have been met, the screening process which industry uses in expansion and plant location decisions brings to the fore a qualitative appraisal of the local environment. In this kind of an appraisal, the factors that are important are these: 3. f • The Kind of Industry We Seek I page|17 �carry out necessary research, invest more capital, add new j ’ ___and _ plants equipment, pay good wages and provide expanding job opportunities for a growing labor force is a profitable industry. Another standard is that the industry and its management have a philosophy of being a good cor­ porate citizen. In this phrase I certainly include the proposition of cor­ porate support of civic and community undertakings, including en­ couragement of employees to participate and assist in such activities. But good corporate citizenship goes farther than this. It includes being a good employer both from a financial and human standpoint; protection and conservation of the natural environment; accepting and providing for the full costs of business operations; and, last but certainly not least, re­ fraining from cost savings which ultimately result in burdens and costs being placed on the community and its citizens. patjB j 18 It may sound utopian, or impractical, to say that a region which so greatly needs industrial growth should require compliance with such qualitative standards in seeking new industry. But this is the case. The disappointments in industrial and regional development are those that come about when a region, or a community, under-values its own worth and commits its limited resources, perhaps all of the resources available for a considerable period of time, to a marginal undertaking. All too often, having risked everything on a poor gamble, the community and its citi­ zens lose their investment or, at best, gain only thin and marginal bene­ fits. In short, the community or region that offers itself for exploitation will be exploited. Again, the contribution represented by this Science Center becomes important to note. Communities and regions that build quality into their structure, as typified by this Science Center, can at­ tract and can hold out for industries of good quality which have sound prospects for future growth. 4. Our Top Priority Need in the Region In actively pursuing programs for the revitalization of the economy of the anthracite region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, it is no longer enough that individual communities have their separate industrial parks and fund-raising drives, and their specific local advantages. The very same highways that make Northeastern Pennsylvania as a whole an at­ tractive location for industry also serve to knit together this area into a regional community in which the strong and weak points of localities are merged, insofar as the outside world is concerned, into an over-all im­ pression of the entire area. Appropriate here, as appropriate in so many places, is John Donne’s famous poem, where he said: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; . . .” We are at the point of great opportunity where we have reversed the trend from downturn to upturn in the principal communities of this region. But the fact remains, whether we like it or not, that the region as a whole still has to overcome the residue of an unfavorable reputation from the past. The diversification of industry which has been accom­ plished, the rising pattern of employment, the better-than-national aver­ age work continuity record, the good performance in the field of manage­ ment-labor relations, the improvements that are under way in the natural surroundings; all of these things are not fully known, or accepted, or appreciated in the outside world. It is not enough to secure a fine modem image for Wilkes-Barre, or for any other community in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is the entire region itself which must achieve a new reputation in keeping with its present-day new and different perform­ ance. This can only be accomplished through the coordinated and joint efforts and activities of the citizens in all the communities in the region working together, setting aside factionalism and separatism. For all the communities to grow in the years ahead in keeping with their full po­ tential, we must all work together much more strongly to achieve for Northeastern Pennsylvania a good reputation — just as the better rep­ utation currently being built for the State as a whole helps all commun­ ities and all parts of the State. Our Main Reliance for the Future Finally, looking to the future, we must continue to recognize that our main reliance must be on ourselves. We all know that the essential ingredient that makes great communities and fine regions is the quality of the people. At the same time, however, we can also recognize that we have been greatly helped by the aid that has been forthcoming through State and Federal programs. These have been of tremendous value in strengthening this region. Nonetheless, the basic source of action has been our own efforts, for these government grants have been based on the concept of matching support and thus tied — and properly so — to the willingness and the capacity of local citizens to summon up their own resources to build anew in their own behalf. An excellent demonstration . of this cooperation between government and local community is provided by this Science Center — where a government grant of $400,000 was based on the willingness of citizens to raise $600,000 in local funds. It is this determination of people to work for and earn a better future which produces continuing and lasting progress. This is the quality that is of the essence in constructing a revitalized economy for this region. This thought has been very well expressed in a policy statement of Gov­ ernor Scranton’s administration. I quote: “Local effort, private and public, is the key to economic renewal and help. Citizens at the local level can and must work with State and Federal programs, but it is these local people, aware of their needs, motivated and ready to assume their responsibilities, who ultimately must marshall their assets, economic and human, and do the job.” I am sure that in this community and in this region we do have the human resources, and we shall marshall our assets to do the job and con­ tinue to move forward strongly. I would like to make clear that Penn­ sylvania Power & Light Company has great confidence in the people of this region and this State. A measure of this confidence is that PP&L expects to invest new capital in new machinery and equipment to replace old facilities, to modernize, to help lower costs and prices, and to provide for growth, an amount of $500 million over the 10-year period 1964 to 1973. Large amounts will be put to work right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania as tangible evidence of our faith in the industrial growth and fine future of this area. In closing I should like to express again ap­ preciation to Dr. Farley for his great contributions to this notable pattern of progress in this region. 5. t f page 19 �I am delighted to be with you this evening, and am particularly pleased that you have chosen Regional Development as the topic for this convocation. Regional Development is one of those concepts which from time to time get into the academic air and then filter into the polit­ ical atmosphere and finally into the general social environment. C • The idea of the region contradicts another of the common fallacies that plagues our civilization. I speak of the supposed antagonism be­ tween the country and the city. However valid that antagonism may have been in former times, it makes no sense at our current stage of social development. The very idea of the Region, with a capital “R,” is, as you know, rel­ atively new. If properly understood and implemented, it contains ex­ tremely important implications for the future of our country and the future of our people. ■ The city and the country today are socially related and interdepend­ ent in the unit of the region. Even the physical distinction between them is rapidly disappearing. Many persons who are classified as living in cities actually make their homes in suburban communities which phys­ ically resemble small towns and even the rural countryside. It is based on the view that man is a social being who achieves his fullest development as a member of a community of his fellow men. It rejects a good many of the theories and a good many of the prejudices that have fogged up the social atmosphere of this country and in fact of the entire Western World in recent years. It stands in distinct contrast to the view that man is an economic atom, whose primary goal is simply to fill his stomach or to keep up with the Jones family. Modern achievements in transportation and communication make it fully possible for persons living in a rural environment or a small town environment to enjoy the social, economic, and cultural advantages that have historically been associated with big cities. At the same time, these very achievements of technology tie the country and the small towns to the products which result from coordinated decisions and transactions made possible by the modem city. If we believe that men and women should be able to sink firm roots in a region and a community, we dare not abandon our people to the ef­ fects of impersonal economic pressures. We must not stand idly by and permit human beings to be swept along by economic forces as though they were bits of clay in a stream running down hill. ! Regional Development ■ • A State Challenge by Honorable William W. Scranton Governor of Pennsylvania paqi:| 20 At the same time, let us reject the approach of those social planners who would shift men here and there around the country in accordance with some abstract economic blueprint. 1 t We who have our roots in the hard coal region of Pennsylvania are particularly aware of this because we belong to a region that has endured a period of severe challenge. It is common to refer to our region as “a depressed area.” Certainly we have our economic problems, but in mat­ ters of the spirit we are not depressed. Quite the contrary. The economic challenges of the past decades have renewed our faith and our conviction that the coal region is a good place in which to live. Even for economic reasons we cannot and should not give up on re­ gions which have suffered economic reverses. Churches, schools and As we in Pennsylvania know, the problems of the cities, the problems of the suburbs, the problems of small towns, and the problems of the countryside cannot be considered apart from each other. The construction of highways and the development of adequate transportation are perhaps the clearest examples of the interdependence of all communities in a region. It no longer makes sense to have a Lu­ zerne County road building program or a Philadelphia transit plan. Such activities must be placed within the setting of the needs of the entire re­ gion. A community and a region are more than the places where people happen to live. A community is composed of homes, and churches, and schools, and streets, and industries. In a deeper sense, it is composed of friends and families, and memories and aspirations. We have suffered population decline, but if those who think exclu­ sively in economic terms were right, that decline would have been far sharper than it has been. Furthermore, whenever a new plant or a new industry brings new opportunity to our region, to this day it receives literally hundreds of applications from our former residents who have been forced to find work in New Jersey or Delaware or Connecticut. The tie that binds is based on something more than a fat pay check. streets represent financial investments. To replace them unnecessarily would be enormously wasteful. Human hopes that are based on a place or on a region are investments of a different kind, and they are virtually irreplaceable. In this connection, your State Government is going ahead with the most extensive highway program in our history. Here in Luzerne County the State Highway Department will this month receive bids to construct 10 miles of highway on Interstate 80 and 81. The final mile is expected to be put under contract later this year. Ten miles of construction on the Anthracite Expressway have already been completed. Work this month will begin on another fifteen miles. In addition, the Luzerne-Dallas Highway is progressing rapidly even during the winter months and paving operations will be resumed in the spring. ♦ 9 Industrial development is another example of regional activity with which we are very familiar in the coal regions. We learned years ago, and other regions of the Nation are now copying us, that the entire re­ gion has an interest in attracting industry to any city or town with that region. The regional concept has underlain the economic recovery that is now underway here in the counties of the anthracite region. I?1 paije 121 �The Convocation neared its climax with the arrival of the First Lady of the Land. She was greeted by President Farley, members of the Wilkes College Student Government and the college band. Jack Busby, President, Pennsyl­ vania Power and Light Company shared the gymnasium platform Friday night with the Governor of Pennsylvania, William Warren Scranton. Just before his appearance at the gymnasium Friday evening, Governor Scranton was interviewed by members of the communica­ tions media in Weckesser Hall. I:-J $ (Ladybird) Johnson when P,tured tbe sPwit of the occasion when she spoke Saturday afternoon. She also won the friendship and respect Of the students during a special interview prior to the afternoon session. Friday and Saturday sessions in The Commons saw civic and industrial leaders draw the theme of the Convocation tightly together. Appearing above are: Attorney Andrew Hourigan, Jr., Donald F. Carpenter, Thomas H. Kiley, and Milton J. Shapp. ��ilkes College, originally known as Bucknell University Junior College, was established in 1933 by a group of com­ munity leaders. Its purpose was to place higher education within reach of the young people of the community. In 1947 it was chartered as an independent liberal arts college. Since its beginnings thirty years ago, Wilkes has grown to be an institution with a full-time enrollment of more than 1300 students, in addition to several hundred part-time students. The student body now represents ten states and eleven foreign countries, but a major proportion still come from Northeastern Pennsylvania, where Wilkes is the only non-sectarian college. Throughout its history, Wilkes has subscribed to the proposition that an institution of higher learning bears a responsibility not only to its students, but also to the community, the state, and the nation. In keeping with this proposition, the College and its staff have par­ ticipated heavily in many community endeavors, as evidenced, for example, by the Office of Community Services. A number of research programs have been and are being conducted for governmental agencies by various departments of the College. In 1960, recognizing the importance of graduate education and scientific research to modem industry and to the attainment of our national goals, planning was begun for the development of a Research and Graduate Center. With the assistance of generous friends and the participation of the U. S. Area Redevelopment Administration, more than 35,000 square feet of modern laboratory, shop, and office space were completed in late 1963. This Center, in conjunction with the Stark Hall of Science, provides Northeastern Pennsylvania excellent facilities for graduate education and research in the natural sciences. It is increasingly apparent that modem technologically oriented industries can attract and retain young scientists and engineers only when graduate and research facilities are within convenient com­ muting distance. Our expanding technology requires continued train­ ing beyond the baccalaureate degree for scientists and engineers who wish to attain the competence and sophistication required for advancement in such industries. Northeastern Pennsylvania has in the past been sorely deficient in the area of scientific research and training. The economy of the region has been based on the exploitation of natural resources, notably coal. As a result, the shift to use of other fuels which has occurred has led to severe dislocations in the regional economy as the demand for coal has declined. 1 To combat this trend, which threatened to leave the region out­ side the mainstream of progress, civic and business leaders have actively sought to attract new industry to locate in Northeastern Pennsylvania. These efforts have been aided by the presence of several colleges. The establishment in 1961 by Wilkes College of Master of Science degree programs in chemistry and in physics was of particular significance. �3ucknell University I by a group of corn­ ice higher education aity.

As a first assignment, I have called upon the Council for a master plan for higher education in our State. Last year the Legislature enacted a Community College program which will enable the State to aid regions to set up Community Colleges designed to produce skilled technicians — thereby filling one of the greatest needs in our State’s economy. The Legislature last year also authorized an area vocational school program. This will provide schools at the high school level serving one or more counties, which will train skilled workers for the industries of the region. Probably the most important activity to be handled at the regional level is that of community development itself. In this area we have no more than made a beginning. 1 -'•■fe. 1 It is my conviction that the communities of the future must be based on our communities as they are today. Community development in Pennsylvania is no mere drawing board exercise — it is no utopian scheme. It is rather the preservation of values that are present in our existing communities, and the extension of these values to more and more of our citizens. We are particularly rich in healthy and vigorous communities in Pennsylvania. Here the tradition of the New England town has blended with the tradition of the medieval German City — with its market, its courts, its university, and its center of religious worship.

Detwiler, Director Research and Graduate Center Wilkes College ! Our heritage makes easily accessible a diversified social development on a regional basis. As a part of our State Development Plan, the State Planning Board will this year launch a region-by-region analysis of the Commonwealth. For this purpose I have requested in our new budget that the appropria­ tion to the Planning Board be doubled. Additional staff will be available to work in and with each of thirteen designated regions and thus im­ prove the understanding and communication between them and the State. Through the Development Plan the State will be able to better recognize regional opportunities and problems, and the regions will be able to better perceive the State’s position in over-all development policy. Let me raise one word of caution. The regional idea should not be used as a mask for vast and inefficient projects designed to enhance the power of a national bureaucracy. The region should be identified with the State, which traditionally has been the object for regional loyalties in America. It is of course desirable that states with common interests should join together for the promotion of these interests, and that they should devote their mutual energies to the solution of their mutual problems. Such interstate compacts are inot, however, and cannot be, entities to which the human heart can attach its loyalties and aspirations. page. 127 �I I Regional strength is in a very real sense dependent on the strength of state government and state institutions. If the states were to be super­ seded, the regions would quickly and inevitably be reduced to a drab uniformity. This is exactly what we do not need. You do me great honor to invite me to meet with you today, and I join you with the greatest of pleasure. I left Wilkes-Barre 48 years ago, although I returned for a brief period several years later. Forty-eight years ago coal was king. WilkesBarre was a thriving community —as I recall it, the greater WilkesBarre community was the third largest in the state. The houses along River Street were owned and occupied by many friends and I used to do a very bad job of pitching for the schoolboy baseball team on the River Bank opposite the Kirby house. The baseball team was called the “Young Suffragettes.” I don’t know why the name, but I do know that our ball team got licked while the Suffragettes themselves eventually won. In my experience with Industrial Development, I have learned that the selective approach is the only approach that is really workable. There are no uniform solutions. The whole value of the regional concept is that it enables us to adapt our energies and our resources to problems which are as varied as there are sections and regions in our state and country. As you see, the idea of regional development is to me a most exciting one. If there were a single unifying cord to the activities which we as a people are waging to achieve a better future, I would say that regional development might provide such a unity. It is involved with all of our problems, and all of our problems are involved with it. It raises our thinking to a level from which we can view the future of man in all of its elements —physical, intellectual, and spiritual. To view man in lesser terms is to diminish unduly the size of his destiny. We do not believe in economic man — or in political man — or in statistical man. We believe in man, the citizen — the maker of com­ munities, the inhabitor of regions. We believe in his future because we have seen, in our own lives and in our own communities, a foretaste of that better society that men — men working together, men working in the fullness of their beings — may in God’s good time, achieve. I attended the public school on Union Street, the High School and Wyoming Seminary. There were no colleges there then and there were not many college graduates employed in local industries. How things have changed! Coal is no longer king and you are seeking a replacement for this once giant industry. But perhaps the changes are more apparent than real. The energy, resourcefulness and wisdom which once made Wilkes-Barre the nation’s leader in one field are still here and are now being devoted to other fields, and results are obvious. Q u t The over-all subject of this convocation is Regional Development. You are meeting with some national leaders' in this field, and you are determined that this community will continue to make its contribution to the nation and to the inhabitants of the area. But the transition from one field to another is not easy. Yesterday’s assets have lost much of their value. You had superb supplies of raw materials, excellent skills and unusually good transporta­ tion. Today the skills and transportation are still important, but there have been changes and you are looking for new opportunities. It seems to me that the presence of Wilkes College is deeply signif­ icant. Was its founding influenced by the industrial transition in the region? Perhaps it did not appear to be at the time, but it seems to me to be more than a mere coincidence that you developed an institution of higher learning in your midst just when higher learning was coming into such demand. As Wilkes College has prospered, there has been a demand for fur­ ther and further education. The need for persons trained in the sciences and engineering has multiplied and the pressure for research and develop­ ment has increased until the facilities had to be expanded and expanded again, and I presume you can see no end to expansion. Certainly, I can t, for greater education always opens up new and broader opportunities for still more education. You have asked me to comment on Research and Industrial Develop­ ment, and you have asked Mr. Shapp, who is much more qualified than I, to speak to you about education. But when I think of industrial develop­ ment, I simultaneously think of education. Even as a man who has spent his entire life in industry, I find it difficult to separate them. In fact, if they were forcibly separated I fear both would suffer. Industry could not progress if it could not employ educated people to man its laboratories Research and Industrial by Donald F. Carpenter Manager Film Department E. I. Dupont de Nemours and Company. Retired l’9 �and plants, and education would not be as satisfying if graduates could not find an opportunity to apply their knowledge and abilities fruitfully and interestingly. I believe that this amazing and wholly unexpected trend in New England may be of some interest to Wilkes College and to this com­ munity — particularly today as we dedicate this handsome building which will be devoted, at least in part, to research. ♦ So I visualize trends of increasing education, increasing employ­ ment of educated people, and increasing virility of industrial develop­ ment. Knowledge is expanding at a furious rate and with its growth come great new challenges and opportunities, especially to areas like this one. J ! Modem industrial development is today a product of Research. This is recognized by the financial specialists who promptly inquire about their prospective client’s research program. It is recognized by top-level college graduates who seek employment with so-called “forward looking” employers. It is vital to owners of industrial companies who desire to perpetuate the life and vigor of their enterprises. It is evident to the employees who see continual changes in the processes which they handle and in the products which they make. It is obvious to the customers who are constantly receiving new and improved supplies and have assurance that their supplier is in tune with the times. Wren I left this region 48 years ago I went to New England to com­ plete my education. After that I was associated with industrial activities in New England for many years. New England is many miles away, but its experiences in the past half-century may be relevant here. <1 New England was, as you know, very active in textiles. Nearly every village had its cotton mill, or woolen mill or yam mill. Larger commu­ nities such as Lawrence, Lowell and Manchester were largely dominated by textiles. Then came changes and the textile industry in New England became smaller and smaller. Today I presume it is only a fraction of its former size in that region. But what has happened? New England is still here, and still pros­ pering. People have had a pretty rough time, but I believe they are emer­ ging. What has done the trick? There are many factors, of course, but let’s look at just one of them — Research. In recent years industry has become more aware of the necessity for applying more scientific procedures in its processes and products. New England has responded to this trend and developed its research and scientific activities to a marked extent. I have heard it said, in fact, that the research activities of New England have revitalized that entire region. Research in the universities and corporation laboratories has brought out new processes and products of course, and these are very important. But of greatest importance are the men and women who have done this research. They have learned by doing, and they have prepared themselves to enter industry and apply this knowledge. They have been important factors in revitalizing old industries, as well as in creating new industries. i We should not over-glamorize this thing called “Research” for, after all, it’s just a type of purposeful and capable thinking—a set of attitudes, skills, and talents that are essential and must be exercised by many in our new world of advancing technology. The real research man speculates upon possible ways to reach his objective, and tests them out. He tries to explain what he sees, and if he sees something he can’t explain, he just tries a little harder. It’s all just a process of enlightened thinking. But the art of think­ ing in this way has advanced to the point that it requires extensive train­ ing and specialized facilities. Wilkes College will now be in better position than ever to provide these, and I predict that this entire region will draw strength and stimulation from this new intellectual resource. t What could be more logical than to rejoice in this fine new develop­ ment here in this community, directed under the demonstrated leader­ ship of Wilkes College. Gentlemen, you have the need, you have the people, you have the leadership and now you have the facilities to meet that need. I congrat­ ulate you. We now see important research laboratories built and operated in New England by industries which never had any real fundamental re­ search programs before. Some of these laboratories are geographically far removed from their companies’ regular activities, but it is a fair as­ sumption that these companies’ activities in New England will grow, and that others will do likewise. page 13D Why do they go to New England? I presume it is because they find there an atmosphere conducive to research, people trained in research and laboratories and facilities accustomed to handling research — all of which are elements that are associated with centers like this one which will now serve the Wilkes-Barre area. t [laiji: 131 �I Historians some day may note this date as a significant landmark on the Anthracite region’s road back to prosperity. myself to education’s role in the development of the region. And I cer­ tainly would not want to upset those carefully-laid plans for this eventful day. Actually, his admonition is easy to follow. This is the wish and hope that we all share as Wilkes College pre­ pares to dedicate its new Research and Graduate Center. J The Center represents the College’s—and the Community’s—dedi­ cation to the theory that the region’s future economic growth depends upon a new orientation on industrial development. k M Dr. Arnaud Marts, one of the founders of Wilkes College and the present Vice Chairman of its Board of Trustees, once remarked: “The mines are closing ... the minds are opening.” It is expected that this Center will attract to the Scranton-WilkesBarre area industries keyed to the future and not to the past. I i No statement ever expressed more simply and eloquently the role education can play in the industrial development of this area. Education and educational institutions play an ever-increasing role in today’s economy. Dramatic evidence of this may be found in areas where educational institutions have developed hand-in-hand with the new industries of the space age. Perhaps the same new growth will occur here. I could not improve upon it; I can only elaborate on it, today. The greatest single investment we make —whether as businessmen or as governments — is in the development of the human mind and human skills. Properly skilled, educated human beings are employable. They lead useful lives in our society. They contribute to economic growth —and they support government through taxes once they are able to earn a profitable living for themselves and their families. It would be hard to find a more deserving area. Local initiative in the northeast region of Pennsylvania has been out­ sistanding in its efforts to attract new industries. Most cities have established non-profit industrial development corp­ orations with businessmen, bankers, news media, civic leaders, labor leaders — the list is almost endless — all devoting a great deal of time and energy to the effort. Education and Economic ent iy is The Value of Minds by Milton -J. Shapp President ■Jerrold Electronics Corp. |32 The very magnitude of the effort, however, has made these hard­ working people painfully aware of the fact that hard work alone will not mean success in every endeavor. An educated person is a flexible person. And in this day, flexibility is most essential to meet rapid technological changes. It no longer is true that a young man can leave school untrained, un­ skilled, and find ready employment. I Despite their efforts, the anthracite region continues to stagger un­ der the heavy burden of chronic unemployment. Obviously, some new and additional steps need to be taken. I am reminded of the letter a young woman wrote to one of the popular advice-to-the-lovelorn columns some months ago. A manifold approach is needed involving the cooperation of federal and state government with local groups. She told the columnist how she had quit school as a teenager to get married. “I didn’t think it was important for me to stay in high school and get my diploma,” she wrote. “Why should I have to know anything?” This is evident by the fact that the Center here was built by a com­ bination of local funds and federal Area Redevelopment Administration funds. But if the Center is to attract modem industries—growth indus­ tries — to the area, there should be transportation facilities — roads, air­ ports, rail service — to make the area easily accessible. There is a need for land reclamation projects, the best possible medical services and the finest possible public schools to make the area attractive. But some six years later, her husband died of a heart attack, leaving her with three children to support. This is true, of course, in every area that hopes to improve its posi­ tion in the competition for new industries. I mention them, because I feel it would be a mistake for the indus­ trial development leaders of this region to sit back and relax on the assumption that growth automatically will follow the establishment of the new Center. Education is a partial answer, not the sole solution to the problem. President Farley expressed the hope, however, that I would confine In past years, those who lacked education found unskilled jobs in industry and on farms. Uneducated immigrants were met at the docks by employers seeking muscle power for the mines and factories. Our fore­ fathers had an excuse for not developing adequate education facilities. The economic problem created by the lack of education was not selfevident. Today, only five out of one hundred jobs are open to the unskilled. n “I must go to work,” she said, “but I’m not trained for anything. I realize now as never before the necessity of preparing for the future, since none of us knows what it may bring.” She concluded: “Please print this letter as a warning from someone who had to learn the hard way.” That was a mind that was opened to the need for education today. The essence of education is more than the fact that a person’s income rises in relation to the level of education achieved. There is impressive evidence from every quarter that the educa­ tion the preparation — of young men and women for productive adult paqu 133 �lives not only is essential for the welfare of these young people, them­ selves, but for the economic welfare of their community as well. A trained labor force is one of the first and most important things an industry looks for in choosing a site for a new plant. The means for providing such a labor force also is counted as a big “plus” by plant locators. That is why facilities such as this Center are so important. That is why a comprehensive program at the elementary and secondary school level are so important. Industry’s attitude was well expressed in a study of the PittsburghYoungstown, Ohio region by the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. I In opening commentary on the education of the region, the study made the general observation: “The amount of formal education attained by the adult population of a region is indicative of relative economic and social status and GIVES SOME CLUE TO INHERENT ECONOMIC POTENTIAL.” I Studies of U.S. manpower needs through this decade indicate that there will be 2.5 million additional jobs in professional and technical oc­ cupations; 2 million more service workers and some 5 million additional skilled craftsmen. Today about 8% of all jobs call for technical training. By 1970 this figure will rise to 16%. Moreover, it is estimated that there will be two million jobs elimin­ ated as a result of technological advances and increased productivity. The heaviest impact of these lost jobs will be on those with a limited educa­ tion or limited skills. A panel of consultants who studied vocational education needs for the L.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimated that a proper program of vocational education could help assure that this country would have the supply of trained labor needed to achieve a plan­ ned 50 per cent growth in the country’s gross national product by 1970. This was not a statement made on blind assumption. The U.i. Census Bureau’s latest report places the value of a college education at $200,000 additional income for a college graduate over the income of a high school graduate. The high school graduate, in turn, will earn an estimated $48,000 more tnan a high school drop-out and $77,000 more than a person who stopped hi- schooling at the eighth grade. Unemployment, by the way, is alz>ut twice a? high among drop-outs as among high school graduates. •..cce personal earnings indicate higher productivity, it is a fair conit a.'/; mean.? greater economic growth. c. n.<: costa of unfilled productivity can, on the contrary, be tremen­ dous.

It has been said before - but worth repeating - the human mind is one of the great untapped resources of our society. It is possible and practical to tap that resource. I have cited estimated increases in earnings through increased ed­ ucational achievement. A government investment in providing education — in the most comprehensive sense — is the least expensive means of insuring adequate income for people. At the same time, it assures a source of taxes to sup­ port government and government’s investments in education. I use the word “investment” deliberately in place of expenditures. If the value of four years of high school is $77,000, then the state’s and local governments’ return in terms of tax revenue can be placed in excess of $6,400 — figuring the average tax take on income in Pennsyl­ vania is over 8.3 per cent. The latest figures on education expenditures in Pennsylvania show that it costs about $482 per pupil per year, or $1,928 for four years. A return of over $6,400 on an investment of $1,928 is pretty good by any measure. That is not even considering the federal government’s share of that increased earning power, which at a minimum would be about $16,000. When you apply this same investment-return measure to higher ed­ ucation, you sometimes wonder why our governments — hard-pressed as they are to find new tax revenues to meet growing budgets — are not rushing to put everybody through college. It can be shown statistically that for each dollar invested to educate and train people there is an ul­ timate tax yield of at least $10. But that only measures one side of the problem. A survey of the heads of families on relief in the state in 1961 showed that 78 per cent of them lacked a high school education; 19 per cent had finished high school; 3 per cent had some post-high school educa­ tion. Relief payments in Pennsylvania alone cost the state and federal governments about one-quarter of a billion dollars a year. Add in the cost of unemployment compensation, and the staggering nature of the savings becomes self-evident. Examined from any aspect, then, education has a tremendous im­ pact on the economic development of any part of the United States. Educated, skilled people are adaptable to change. Even automation, with its hidden terrors of technological unemploy­ ment, seems less terrible in the view of the flexible, educated human being. In today’s improving school programs ... in expanding vocational and technical training programs ... in the development of community colleges ... in the manpower training programs ... as well as in the estab­ lishment of centers such as this one at Wilkes College — lies the hope for Present and future generations of people in this area and others like it to obtain the kind of economic growth they need to end chronic unemploy­ ment. page 135 �I i by Dr. Frank P. Graham I I Chairman National Public Advisory Committee of Area Redevelopment Administration, Washington, D. C. pagn 136 Regionalism has been and is a fact in the life of the people on the earth. Within historic times there have been and are the European, African, Asian, Australasian, Oceanic and American regions. In the North Atlantic Region the Atlantic Pact, formalized in NATO, became a regional arrangement led by the United States. This regional arrangement was not only a counter-move against the proposal for an isolated unilateral Fortress America, but also was a cooperative multilateral partnership for defense against any possible aggression by the gigantic bloc of Eastern powers which was capable of pushing in any direction across Europe and Asia. America, which had previously largely disarmed itself of conven­ tional forces and had offered to transfer its then monopoly of atomic power to the United Nations, became deeply concerned when the mas­ sive power reaching across the heartland of the earth pushed menacing power from its bi-continental interior lines against Czechoslovakia and South Korea. Bases established for defense outside and along the per­ imeter of these massive interior lines are not analogous to the insertion through Western Hemispheric lines of the totalitarian missiles in Cuba. The old exclusive reliance on the long established unilateral Monroe Doctrine was historically valid and accepted while the Latin American Republics were establishing their independence. The act of Chapultepec of 3 March 1945 and the Rio Treaty of 2 September 1947 formalized the regional arrangement of the Organization of American States for multi­ lateral cooperation and mutual defense in the Western Hemisphere. The democratic Cuban Revolution against the totalitarian tyranny of Batista, who at times had the wrongful sanction of some elements in the United States, was tragically transformed into another totalitarian tyranny. The insertion into the Western Hemisphere of a totalitarian threat to the free­ dom of the American Republics in a mighty confrontation of bi-polar powers, required the withdrawal of totalitarian missiles from Cuba as a strategic menace within the Western Hemisphere. The relaxation of heavy tensions, which came with these mutual arrangements for withdrawal, was aided by the good offices of the United Nations. This relaxation of tensions was later followed by the Test Ban Treaty, whose achievement was mutually shared by the President of the United States and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the So­ viet Union. The Test Ban Treaty was signed by 107 of the then 111 mem­ ber nations of the United Nations. The Test Ban Treaty was promptly followed by the unanimous resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations for the nuclear disarmament of outer space. The mean­ ing of these small steps is measured not by their distance but by their direction. Their adoption is a basis for hope of other steps toward effec­ tive universal disarmament. Little decisions, with cumulative power become great decisions, whether in the habits and character of persons or the trend and policies of nations. The United States, as a region of North America, includes within its sovereignty ten regions: New England, the Mid-West, the Southeast, Puerto Rico (and the Virgin Islands), the Southwest, the states bordering on the Great Lakes, the Great Plains, the Mountain States, the Far West, Alaska and Hawaii. * W New England, as a region, has made a national impact on the religious, educational, cultural, economic and political life of the nation Frederick Turner envisaged the American frontier as a long influential region as it moved ever westward, renewing the insurgency and resurgency of American individualism, nationalism and democracy. William E Dodd, while differentiating the influence of the Old South and the Lower South in the history of the United States, synthesized the rise and influ­ ence of the Cotton Kingdom as a decisive factor in American history for generations. Howard W. Odum, in his social researches and monumental work, Southern Regions, published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1936, revealed both the unity and diversity of several regions of the so-called “solid south. In 1962 the University of Kentucky Press published, A Survey, the Southern Appalachian Region, also a monumental work and a compila­ tion of the researches of 22 distinguished scholars from the colleges and universities of the region. The Editor-in-Chief, Professor Thomas Ford, in his introduction, states, “The Southern Appalachian Region as de­ fined for the present survey included more than 80,000 square miles in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina. Containing the highest peaks and roughest terrain east of the Rockies, the Region is made up of three roughly parallel strips: on the east, the steep Blue Ridge; on the west, the rugged Cumberland Plateau; between them, the Great Valley, containing the region’s better farmlands, its largest cities, and its major transportation routes.” I This survey made humanly and statistically emphatic that the southern Appalachian Region was a depressed area with damaging con­ sequences to the people of the Area, the South and the Nation. To meet the problem of a tragic number of depressed areas in the country, the first move of the new administration was to enact the Area Redevelop­ ment Law. Mr. William Batt, son of an enlightened industrialist, had served in the Manpower Administration of the United States Depart­ ment of Labor and as Secretary of Labor in the State of Pennsylvania, had become Administrator of A.R.A. in the Department of Commerce under Secretary Luther Hodges, the former Vice President of Marshall Field Industrial Enterprises and the former Governor of North Carolina. Recognizing that the southern Appalachian and the northern Appa­ lachian Regions have much in common, a constructive program for all Appalachia was envisaged. |J p. K North and South Appalachia have more in common than the tra­ gedies of depressed areas. They have basically in common the Appala­ chian Mountain System, rich coal deposits, the Ohio River Systems, the original American stocks, in addition to some English, Welsh and Hu­ guenots, more largely the Scotch-Irish, who came from Ulster, and the Germans, who came from the Palatinate. North and South Appalachia became part of the common backbone of both Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democracy. In the Civil War, not only the sons of North Appaachia, but also a large majority of the sons of South Appalachia, in re­ sponse to Lincoln’s call, volunteered to fight to save the Union. The sharpshooting sons of Appalachia had a decisive part in its outcome. If e ®ore than one hundred thousand men of the southern Appa ac lan page 137 �region who joined the Union Armies, had joined the Confederate Armies instead, this difference might have given a different turn to the war General George Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga, was from the moun tain country of southwest Virginia.

Not partisan prejudice, political slogans or sectional shibboleths, but judgment of the people as to what is most productive, necessary and’fair increasingly is becoming the guideline as to what should be private and what should be public in its basic structure, management and service of the people. In the reunited Union, which the sons of Appalachia had helped to save, the new immigrants from eastern and southern Europe went in large numbers into the iron regions of northern Minnesota, the coal mines of Pennsylvania, and, in lesser numbers, into the coal mines of West Virginia. The coal miners of northern and southern Appalachia were a part of that combination of industrial power based largely on the steel mills of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where the coal of Appalachia met the iron ore of the Mesabi Range of northern Minnesota to play de­ cisive parts in the winning of two world wars and are today one of the main strongholds for the defense of freedom and peace in the world. If abandoned or left exclusively to their own initiative and resources — always indispensable in any situation — depressed areas sometimes become the victims of national trends and world situations, and tend to perpetuate themselves in a vicious circle of exhaustion, dwindling capital, loss of wages, growing poverty and continuing depression. The depressed area, which needs capital most, has the least capital available for those undertakings that will help the people to help themselves so that they may rejoin the forward march of their own great country. Need for Intelligence in the Evolution of what is INDISCRIMINATELY CALLED “SPENDING” The values and responsibilities of the free individual, the local com­ munity, the several States and the Nation, are all provided for in the American system of a Union of States and a Nation of People, based on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It should never be forgotten that the free and self-reliant individual, the private initiative, the free and socially responsible enterprise, agri­ cultural and industrial, personal and corporate, are the sources of not only the dynamism of our gigantic American production on farms and in fac­ tories, but also of the creative American system of a mixed and balanced economy, adapted and advancing to meet the needs and opportunities of the American people in the world of the mid-twentieth century. It should also never be overlooked that the American way is an experimental ap­ proach for finding which way is the most intelligent and democratic way to meet the needs and fulfill the aspirations of the people for a more pro­ ductive life for all the people. The free, private and socially responsible ownership and manage­ ment of agricultural, industrial and business enterprises, have mainly stood the test of both basic principle and historic experience. In the course of our history and experience it was also found that the private operation of the post office, roads and schools was not adapted for meet­ ing the needs and hopes of a large majority of the population. The Ameri­ can people, therefore, established the public postal system, public roads and public schools in the open service of all the people as a more efficien way of satisfying the special needs of our varied and free society­ in the mountain and hill country of America is heard the calland need of tourism and its required services on the state and national hig ways, in the state and national parks, historic commemorative pagean , folk music and plays. In mountainous North Carolina, millions of P®°P nding down the highways of America into the great Smoky National ra , V 0 W mo The A.R.A., mainly with loans at reasonable rates and grants in special cases, seeks and hopes, wisely, in response to community initiative, to provide the seed capital, the stimulus, the research and the cooperative guidance needed by the leaders, enterprises and programs in the areas of depression. Common to South and North Appalachia are the needs for: (1) more and better general education; (2) specialized skills; (3) research; (4) diversified industries; (5) tourism; and (6) more and better com­ munity enterprises and social services. For all these needs, cooperation between the local, state and federal governments is indispensable for full realization of the potentialities of the region. The main responsible agencies are the state and local govern­ ments, which too often abdicate their responsibilities and then complain about the advancing role of the federal government in helping to meet the human needs. General and VocationalEducation Basic and general education are needed to equip our youth _ velop victorious personalities, civic understanding, and sociiu ana y ual insights. Vocational and professional education are n training and development of the special skills nee e in complex modern society. 0 Low income agricultural and industrial regions and dep . of in general, have a larger proportion of childreni and aid to wealth than the national average. Just as within ’ ducationai the local communities is necessary to provide moie opportunities, so, within the nation, federal ai , wi educational is needed to supplement state funds’to provide more equal page 139 �> opportunity for all the children of our common country. In some areas of relative and continuing depression, the people have higher tax rate for the education of their children and yet provide less per child than the national average. The educated youth, whom the low income people with higher tax rates educate in their non-productive years, migrate an­ nually with their knowledge and skills by score of thousands to become producers of wealth in other regions which had made no contribution to their education. The less educated and the unskilled also migrate to end up in the slums and on the already crowded relief rolls of the great cities. Both the skilled and the unskilled are citizens not only of the state but also of the Nation. It is in the interests of all communities, of all states, and of the Nation as a whole, that the federal government recognizes its supplementary responsibility for the equalization of the educational op­ portunity of all the children in all the states. k " of many libraries. of Wealth and Stability We will not here summarize the wonders of scientific research in the exploration of the interior of the earth and outer space, where the moon and the stars beckon to the adventurous zest of youth while the human spirit seeks to build a new earth and to find a new heaven in our expanding universe. Education — The Foundation for Economic Well-being When the already stubborn soils of Massachusetts were becoming exhausted before the days of abundant fertilizer, the people, with their highly trained intelligence, shifted from too much reliance on the land to a larger reliance on the sea. Their initiative and bold sailors wrested oil from the whales and became the center of a fast-growing maritime en­ terprise, whose whalers and clipper ships encompassed the earth and be­ came one of the wonders of the world. When oil was discovered in the earth at Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, the oil in the body of the earth supplanted the oil in the bodies of the whales. The people of Massachu­ setts again made a new adaptation in a larger concentration on the man­ ufacture of textile and shoes. When the textile mills began moving west to be nearer to the leather, the educated people of Massachusetts, turned to a larger concentration on the manufacture of modern electrical and electronic engines, appliances and machinery. Instead of increasing the Dreadlines of a depressed area, the people and the youth of Massachusetts lengthened the enrollment in the many colleges and the booklines The people of Massachusetts, who invested in education and had the largest per capita circulation of books from their college and public libraries, did not consider the money so spent as wasteful spending but as investments in their own future as a great commonwealth. Of°the ten foremost universities and research centers in America, two are in the one State of Massachusetts — Harvard and M.I.T., as are three of the six foremost colleges for women. Research — A Creator The Federal Government long ago recognized its responsibility in (1) federal aid to schools in the North West Ordinance of 1787; (2) in federal aid to land grant colleges by the Morrill Act, which was signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1862; and (3) in aid to vocational education. Voca­ tional education, with all its values, has been largely geared to agricul­ ture and now needs to be re-oriented to meet the needs of our increasing­ ly diversified and complex society. The values of a democratic and modern education are emphasized, for example, in the history of Massachusetts. Long before the crusade of Horace Mann for public education, Massachusetts led the country in per capita expenditure for education. The Puritan forefathers and the people of the State, with all their traditions of thrift and economy, showed their faith in the investments in education not only as a way of preventing the decline of Massachusetts, but also as a way of adaptation, prosperity and progress in changing times. < W V We recall in this college of freedom and responsibility that it was the groping and ever exploring mind of man which created the Commercial Revolution of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the Industrial Revolu­ tion of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and the Atomic Revolution of the mid-twentieth century. The idea of the electro-magnetic nature of the earth became more efficiently mechanized in the mariner’s compass, which helped to bring on the Commercial Revolution. The latent power of heat in the expanding power of steam was mechanized in the modern steam engine, which, together with electric generators and gas engines brought on the Industrial Revolution. In this century the nuclear power of the atom was mechanized in reactors and bombs, which are causing the Atomic Revolution. These have tied all nations and all peoples to­ gether in one fatefully interdependent world, loaded with the doom or hopes of mankind. They make the United Nations a moral imperative in this age. Scientific, Social and Humane Research have their Global Significance and Local Impacts As we move from a consideration of the global impacts of research to its local implications, we are impressed with the leadership of t historic College of liberal learning and scientific reseaic as a cen er the renaissance of the anthracite region of Pennsylvania and bejona. Here, trail blazers to new frontiers will discover new uses for old ^source., will determine what industries are economically sound an « ic ‘ most economically productive and humanly creative in t is as ci » age. Both hard and soft coal are being increasingly rep ace 5 natural gas. Research here will seek to find new and mcreasino coal in old and new industries. V Your creative artists will produce historical symphonic di ing the story of the struggles and hopes of the peep e, « u valiant part in the epic drama of coal, iron and stee ni 1 America as the industrial giant of modern times. Scientific research and technology have a tremendous structure of a community and the hopes of the pt op < i 1 of a p.iqr 41 �dav lives. In our national and mechanically automated industrial society, the question arises as to where will be found the job opportunities for the millions of youth streaming steadily into a labor market. Is the answer in rural and urban slums and public relief rolls, with their loads on the national economy and the running sores of the body politic? A more intelligent, humane and productive answer is increased employ­ ment- employment in the adequate staffing of overcrowded schools and hospitals- in the construction of libraries, decent houses, centers for the performing arts, roads, clinical centers and research centers; and in com­ munity and recreational services. It is not the purpose of Wilkes College, or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or the A.R.A., to encourage runaway industries, to pro­ mote artificial industries, or to give an unfair advantage to any industry or to any region. It is the purpose of Pennsylvania, the A.R.A., and of us all to help the people help themselves by providing seed capital for well-prepared and soundly-based enterprises which can stand up in our free society for the service of all the people. We cannot, with false and wasteful economies, pinch our way through to a more productive and better life for all people. We must invest wisely, and yet more liberally in general and higher education, in basic and applied research, in special­ ized and professional skills, in adventurous imagination, and in the no­ blest creations of the human spirit. We must develop the untapped resources of the earth and the seas, the unused faculties of the bodies and the minds of people. If we culti­ vate all human resources the people will create their own recovery. Upon the leadership of the United States and in the free partnership of the United Nations, ride the perils and fears, the faith and hopes of the people of the world for freedom, justice, and peace on the earth as the God-given home of the family of man in this time of mortal peril and im­ mortal hope. W W I have come to this area not just because my Commander-in-Chief wanted me to come - but because we both wanted to know better the Tnnle behind the statistics. And when I go home tonight, I shall not gjgep until I teU him all about you. preparing for this trip, I was told of the hard times you in this area haVe been having. The mine cave-ins and fires have plagued life in this area along with the problems of a declining industry. But I know this is a part of our land that has refused to take defeat or decline. I read over and over the words “depressed area” but in the six very busy hours I have spent here, meeting the people and seeing the area, I just don’t feel the least bit depressed. There is too much “yeasty” thinkjng_ too much can-do spirit too much of a sense that you are build­ ing your own economic bridge from the past to the future. I have found today that these are Phoenix-lands, rising from the ashes of yesterday, to light new fires of your own industrial renaissance. You have impressed me. Last Wednesday I sat in the gallery of the Congress and heard my husband declare war on poverty in this country. Today, I feel as if I have been standing on the first battlefield of that war. You are well aware —and I want you to know that we who live in the White House are equally aware — that: this area of the country was once prosperous; that you have been economically hard hit; and that you, by your own efforts and with the help of your State and Federal Govern­ ment, are on the road back to prosperity. This anthracite region has been suffering from the same ills of de­ pression and deprivation which once gripped the whole Nation in the 1930’s. Now, thirty years later in the midst of plenty, there is less reason than ever to permit these conditions to exist. We cannot stand idly by while one fifth of our American families live in poverty — earn less than $3,000 a year. We cannot rest easy when 5^ percent of the American people are unemployed. Here, in this area, that unemployment figure is nearly double what it is in the rest of the nation. If we are wise enough to invent automation, we must be skillful enough to convert it into a blessing, not a curse. . We are a great nation — a nation wealthier than any other — any­ time in history. We can afford anything we want, but the one thing we cannot aford — as Lyndon told the nation last Wednesday — is poverty. I til Impressions of the First Lady of the Land The twenty-two percent of America’s children who are living in povei y now sit on the sidelines of American life. They form the nucleus of °Ur school drop-outs. This must not continue. page 1?

I have seen how the whole communities — bankers, workers, business and professional men — contribute to war chests to finance the fight I have seen how they have been able to muster the forces of the Area Redevelopment Administration and the Accelerated Public Works pn> jects to substantially reduce unemployment and defeat the common enemy. They can and will do more, and they know now that they have the full force of the Administration and the Government of the United States behind them. I have spent many a late night these past few weeks listening while Lyndon discussed with experts from every field — how best to fight this war on poverty. The experts seem to be in agreement, and the one word that seems foremost in their conversation is education. We need more scientists, more doctors, more engineers, more spec­ ially-trained post graduates, more highly-educated and highly-skilled workers. We cannot assure the Nation’s future without immediate attention to the vital problem of education. This problem runs all the way from school drop-outs to an inadequate supply of nuclear physicists. This is why I always feel a surge of hope when I see — as I do to­ day — a new improvement that strengthens our educational system. The new Wilkes science center is a vital contribution to America’s educational needs. It is just what the experts ordered to help ease a crit­ ical problem. But it is also much more. It is an indispensable partner in your industrial rebirth. It will help industries which are already here grow. It will attract new science-oriented industries. It will at one and the same time make it possible to train the young people of this area to learn skills which will be needed — and provide jobs for them to use these skills — here at home in the anthracite area. What an exciting place to be—here in Wilkes-Barre—or. the thresh­ old of a new era. There is no limit to the opportunities. Meeting your students here today makes me think of the line about Balboa — “like some watcher of the skies when with eagle eyes he did the vast Pacific scan.” Here not only the students — but the community will learn some­ thing of scientific development — and no longer feel an alien in a chang­ ing world. I am grateful to you all today because you have taken me behind the cold statistics to the human needs, problems, and hopes of this area, now feel better equipped to serve you in helping relate these needs an hopes to those who want to — and will — help you do something a ou them. ♦ 0 presentation speech by Dr. Daniel P.

Scranton at Press Conference I am told it is sometimes customary at this time for the awardee to launch upon a learned and profound disposition on some interesting subject. I am not going to attempt that at this time for many reasons. But it is particularly grat­ ifying to me, today, that I am being honored by an institution which I like to think of as the hometown institution. For I was born here in Wilkes-Barre and received my elementary and secondary education here and later at the Wyo­ ming Seminary. I have many pleasant and nostalgic recollec­ tions of this very area on which your College is located. I recall that quite a few years ago, as a young lad, I was a member of a football team which represented Union Street, several blocks north of here, and that each year we would make a southern trip, finally arriving at South Street; and there on the river bank, we young heroes were engaged in mortal combat with a corres­ ponding team representing this area. I remember also that occasionally a huge and tyrannical policeman would appear on the horizon and quickly he would disperse all these young heroes to the four quarters of the com­ pass. It seems that any such evidence of private enterprise on the public lands could not be coun­ tenanced. But, fortunately, our pain was not long-last­ ing for as the policeman wandered on his beat up the bank, and when he had safely disappeared around the corner of Northampton Street, we would immediately resume our operations. I presume that there was never a time in the history of our country when there appears to be a greater need for more education than at the present time. Our competition is the nations of the Earth and our field of endeavor seems, at times, to reach even beyond those boundaries. page j 46 The American economy and the industrial economy of this country is daily becoming more complicated and more sophisticated — requiring more skills and more education for those who hope to participate and particularly for those who hope to progress. BELOW, LEFT PANELS: Northern Hospitality, Lady Bird at Public Square At the present time, we might say that we have almost an industrial boom in this country and yet in spite of that we find rows of millions of people who are unemployed and seeking em­ ployment. I think a further examination of those rows would show that a large majority of those people are people with little or no skills and very little education. And so it seems to me it must be a source of great satisfaction to Dr. Farley and all of his associates in creating this institution of higher learning here which gives such an op­ portunity to those who choose to participate directly in the opportunities afforded by it. And its very existence here seems to me to elevate the educational, cultural aspirations of the Com­ munity. Dr. Farley has said that I have been of some help in connection with this. And if that is true I am very gratified. But I am sure that whatever I have done is quite microscopic compared with the enormous achievements of Dr. Farley and his associates — members of the Board, his staff, the members of the faculty and also the large num­ ber of people of this Community who contribu­ ted with their aid and sustenance in the develop­ ment of this great institution. And so, Dr. Farley, I accept this honor and award with great enthusiasm and with great pride. Doubly so, I think, because it is being given by the institution which has given and is continuing to give such great help to the Com­ munity and in the solution of one of our impor­ tant problems of the nation as a whole.

Farley You are coming to maturity and are preparing for work and life in a world of unprecedented change and great ideological conflict. None of us can clearly visualize the type of world in which you will be living in fifty, or even twenty-five years, but it is perhaps not presumptuous if I suggest to you some means whereby you can prepare for the unknown future. We may compare ourselves with Columbus. When he sailed from Spain in 1492 he did not know where he was going, and when he returned he did not know where he had been. It is ever so with explorers. They set out for a preconceived destination, but the point they reach is, frequently, not the point for which they have searched. Their efforts, however, advance the frontiers of man’s knowledge, even though they may fail to attain the goal for which they search. By their quest they open “new worlds” that welcome those who follow them. In 1963 all men of vision and imagination are explorers. In this generation we have left behind the seemingly cer­ tain and secure world of the past and have embarked upon the exciting and perilous journey into the unknown. Two developments have contributed to the tension and turmoil of the contemporary world. They are the spec­ tacular progress of knowledge and the rise of totalitarian ideologies. Whitehead has said that more scientific progress has been made in the last fifty years than in all preceding cen­ turies combined. Science has pushed the frontiers of knowledge beyond the dreams of our forefathers and has given men new insights into the nature of his physical en­ vironment and into the nature of his own self. Technology, the child of science, has placed in man’s hands a truly awesome power over the forces of nature. These breathless advances have given man a new sense of freedom and a new hope, but also, paradoxically, a new sense of insecurity. Ours is an age of great confusion and anxiety. As Einstein has said, “Perfection of means and Editor's Note: The following address by Dr. Farley usas delivered to the Wilkes College student body at its first assembly program in September.) confusion of goals seem, in my opinion, to characterize our age.” The second development is the rise of modern totalitar­ ianisms. In times of crisis, there have always been demagogues and zealots who were eager to peddle their easy panaceas and utopias among the uninformed, the ignorant and the oppressed. It is, therefore, not surprising that our century has had more than its share of these would-be-saviors. We have in our lifetime witnessed the rise, and fortunately, the fall of two totalitarian ideologies, Fascism and Nazism, but the third, Communism, now completely controls one-third of the globe. Common to all these all-or-nothing ideologies is their massive assault on human freedom; the totalitarians seem to have a very low opinion of the ability of the individual to think and decide for himself, and, in consequence, they rely on force as a means of solving man’s problems. In contrast with these ideologies, we of the free world are dedicated to the way of life based on the recognition of human freedom, the respect of the individual and the belief in his ability to solve his own personal problems as well as to participate constructively in the solution of the larger problems of the society in which he lives. The next half century may determine which of these com­ peting concepts will control the lives of men. It will depend largely on how the free man meets this double­ challenge of rapidly expanding knowledge and extreme ideologies. In spite of obvious hazards and perils, I would like to share with you the conviction that there are excellent reasons why we can face the future with confidence. From your studies and your independent thinking you will gain a greater awareness and a deeper understanding of the forces that determine the trends and currents of our time. You will know your heritage of the past, you will comprehend the varied aspirations that now motivate men in all parts of the world. You will know something of the thoughts, conditions, and techniques that change our way of life with ever-increasing rapidity. As you gain increased understanding of the past and of the present, you will comprehend that the future - what­ ever it be, good or bad - is an extension and fruition of all that has preceded it. You will gain increased perspective paijii | >' and understanding as you see the present fusing the known past with the unknown future. We are apt to speak of the Renaissance in the past tense. Actually in the centuries since the Renaissance, man’s "awakening” has been continuous and progressive: one discovery has led to other discoveries, and one idea to the recognition of other ideas. With each succeeding century the shackles of ignorance, fear, bigotry, and authority have weakened, and in each century man has gained greater freedom and increased opportunity for self-reali­ zation. The scientific and technical revolution, of which we are all a part, is the outgrowth of the freeing of the human mind and of centuries of intellectual inquiry. In politics, in government, in economics, in religion, in thought, and in social custom there has been an increas­ ing measure of freedom, which has led to a greater diversity of thought and practice. It is this diversity that has encouraged scientific inquiry and investigation. Over the centuries investigation and inquiry have taken man­ kind from the known into the unknown; continued investigation and inquiry are essential to further progress. Rigid ideologies stand in the way of free inquiry and of progress. They offer only single and supposedly final solutions for all human problems, whereas history shows that many paths must be explored if the best is to be discovered. Some of the modern ideologies seek to return to the past; some wish to break with the past. The Nazis tried to impose and perpetuate the social ideas and values of the past. The Communists try to break with the past; they envisage a world in which economics determines the character of the state and of the people. In contrast with these rigid ideologies the free peoples seek many paths by which to project the benefits of man’s past experience into the future. So long as men are free, they will seek varied solutions and will maintain a flexibility that is impossible within a rigid ideology. Free men will seek all truths and facts, whereas the ideologists are compelled to reject any truth and any fact that is incompatible with their system. To be sure, freedom of thought and action always in­ volves risk. It should be recognized, however, that freedom of inquiry and independence of thought are never the marks of a primitive civilization. They are, on the contrary, the outstanding evidence of an advanced and stable civilization. Only a confident and assured people are able to respect thoughts and ideas that differ from their own. Iron curtains, walls, inquisitions, repressions, and tyrannies do not evidence either strength or confid­ ence. On the contrary, they result from fear of that which is different. Fear is never a mark of strength. We have already lived in the midst of uncertainty and tension for a quarter century and there now appears little prospect that uncertainty and tension will soon diminish. We, therefore, must cultivate equanimity in the midst of tension and turmoil. This requires understanding of both the promise and the threat inherent in our current situa­ tion. If your understanding is genuine, it will enable you to develop the necessary measure of equanimity. If you believe in the ideals that have captured the imag­ ination of western man for many centuries, you will seek to give them vitality and strength in your daily lives. If man, in his unending search for the best, must explore many paths, assuredly you and I, during our limited span paij«l 3 of years, should consider all possibilities that open before us. If your education is to serve you, you must look into the unknown future with open eyes and open minds. You must evaluate critically and constructively the many prospects that will open before you. Failure to do so will inevitably lead into a blind alley, from which there will be no escape. If you are to participate constructively in the world-wide struggle for the minds of men, you must remember-that ideals without acts are empty. Only as we demonstrate the effectiveness of our ideals in our lives and in our institutions do they become dynamic influences that affect world thought. Although we may judge ourselves by our ideals, others judge us by our acts. As one man has wisely remarked, “What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” You must remember, however, that ideals never operate in a vacuum. They are in constant competition with self­ ishness, greed, and self-interest. As you observe the every­ day affairs of the world, you will see these selfish forces at work. They have never ceased and they never will. They have always been in conflict with decency and with human welfare, and they always will be. It is for this reason that we have laws that protect us from our ruthless neighbors. Because the forces of selfishness are so per­ sistent there will be times when you may lose faith in the power of ideals. At such times it is encouraging to remember that all men of vision and intelligence have had their faith tested at some time in their lives. It is even more encouraging to recognize that western civiliza­ tion has made progress because of the enduring appeal of those ideals that are its strength. If you look at the condition of mankind throughout the long centuries you will note a slow improvement in man’s sense of responsi­ bility to his neighbor. You will find that those cruelties and man’s inhumanities to man that were taken for granted 2000 years ago are frowned upon today. Today we are all concerned by the racial tensions that show themselves in our country and throughout the world. If we are to see the tensions of these times in their true perspective, we must remind ourselves that they are the product of an awakened social conscience; we must recognize that social conscience does not exist without the force of an ideal. Two hundred years ago slavery was taken for granted throughout most of the world, and it was then considered natural that the strong would exploit the weak. Today we find that social conscience makes it difficult for civilized men to exterminate those who oppose them. You may say that the Nazis and Communists have extermin­ ated millions who have been of the wrong persuasion. This is unfortunately true, but in the not too distant past such practices were taken for granted; today they are condemned as a throw back to barbarism. They can not long be accepted by those who have glimpsed the heights to which men can rise. The racial problems that beset us in the United States are disturbing. They are not, however, caused by an abandonment of our basic ideals and our national aspirations. They are. on the contrary, the inevitable consequence of conflict between our ideals and our prac­ tices. So long as we accepted slavery, we were callous to the rights of all minorities. Once we rejected slavery, our �ideals, our consciences, and our national aspirations both restrained and impelled us. So it is that we are now compelled by conscience to recognize the dignity and the rights of all men. It is this same conscience that simultan­ eously restrains us from acts of intolerance, and impels us to extend the benefits of our ideals to all people. 4. The people of our nation regret the recent evidence of violence and bigotry and look upon them as a disease that must be cured or checked if our system of govern­ ment and our economic institutions are to survive. We are embarrassed at home and abroad by acts that deny the rights of citizenship to any American. We know that these acts of intolerance and brutality damage the image of America. We know that these acts are a repudiation of our own ideals. We know that they weaken our cause throughout the world. We hope, however, that the peoples of the under-developed nations will comprehend that the present conflicts in America result from the dynamism of our national ideals — not from their abandonment. 5. In the midst of rapid change there is danger that we may lose our sense of values, our sense of purpose, and our sense of direction. During any time of revolutionary change, unquestioned and untested values and ideals are readily abandoned by the quick and the pseudo-sophisti­ cated. As someone remarked, “Only those convictions are lasting and valuable which one acquires after overcoming doubts and objections.” I beg you to question your values and your ideals as a part of your education. If you do this, you will gain an inner resource that is essential to great achievement and to personal equanimity. You will realize, too, I feel confident, that we need the stabilizing influence of earlier experience to guide us and to prevent us from perpetuating and repeating the follies of earlier generations. It is only from the cumulative experiences of the past that we can develop a sense of equilibrium, of purpose, and of direction. If we are to be helped by a knowledge of the past we must not only know man’s mistakes, we must also know his great achievements, his aspirations, his ideals and his values for they are the dynamic forces of Western civili­ zation. We must be familiar with these forces from the past if we are to weave the best of them into the new civilization that is developing. Among the most potent of these forces are: 1. The Christian concept of brotherhood: For two thousand years, Christians have given lip service to this ideal. Today the Christian conscience prods us to live in accordance with it. 2. Freedom of thought and of conscience: This is the most important gift of the Ren­ aissance. So long as thinking was curtailed by tradition and authority, man was incapable of improving his condition in this world. The scientific and technical developments of the pres­ ent have resulted from man’s freedom to use his mind. 3. Recognition that diversity is essential to progress: As we examine the intellectual traditions of the past, we may discover that conformity has been the greatest hindrance to the development of man. The discovery that MIDST OF diversity: unity is possible in the Where men respect those who differ from them in custom, tradition, creed, color, or language, they are united by a recognition of their common problems and aspirations. The DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: December, Man’s desire to question and verify each hy­ pothesis with facts has expanded his frontiers of knowledge and has made possible our modern technology. 6. 1963 GROWING ALUMNI SUPPORT REVEALED BY 1963 ANNUAL ALUMNI CAMPAIGN Self-Government : This must be included for our own forebears created a new nation in their quest for self-gov­ ernment. Today, self-government is one of the great aspirations of people throughout the world. Universal Education: The basic characteristic of man, whatever his race, creed, or color, is his creative intelligence. Without educational opportunity for all, this greatest resource, man’s creative intelligence, remains untapped and undeveloped. These seven forces that I have mentioned relate to the spiritual, the intellectual, and the material aspirations of man. Because they appeal to the creative instincts of man, they are the dynamic power of western civilization. If we lose them, our civilization will join the long pro­ cession of earlier civilizations that waned when they lost their motivation to move ahead. No man and no civiliza­ tion can remain static. I believe that your acceptance of these creative ideals is essential to your own development and to the contribu­ tions that you as educated persons will be called upon to make to your community, your nation, and your world. As educated people you must look toward greater things in the future and you must recognize that constructive thought and action originate in the individual mind. You must look ahead with vision and with confidence. As Homer Smith so well states, “So far as we can know at the present time, man is the most magnificently, self­ ordered creature in this expanding cosmos. He is not, however, quite as magnificent as we think he could be. Somehow or other we must find a way to communicate the essence of today’s science — to young and old alike; somehow thinking must again be made popular, and great thinking synonymous with high adventure.” Perhaps I should now tell you that I could wish to ven­ ture with you in your quest for high adventure and magnificence. Although this is my desire, it is only a desire. You will soon outstrip me, for each generation must move beyond the generation that precedes it. If your years at Wilkes are productive, your thoughts and your understanding will move beyond the generation that assists with your education. Those of us who are your teachers would have it so, for this is our purpose and our desire. I pray, with all my heart, that you will gain the necessary vision and develop the essential capabilities. Great effort and great self-discipline will be required of you. Satisfac­ tion in constructive work may be your greatest reward.

Chairman of the Warm-up Party was George Murdock, ’60. Faculty members, alumni and guests from the WilkesBarre area and from all other alumni chapter areas filled the Alexander Room. Renewing acquaintances, discussing careers, and reminiscing highlighted the social informality of the evening. Prior to the Warm-up Party, a committee of alumni judges headed by Donald Stein, Attorney Eugene Roth, Nancy Davies, Gwen Gould, and George Murdock completed a review of all Homecom­ ing displays in preparation for the awards presenta­ tion the following day. Hollenback Hall, men’s dormitory, won two trophies for the third straight year — one for the best over-all display, the other for the best display of men’s dormitories. Weckesser Hall, women’s dormitory, won the trophy in their area, and the Education Club captured the award in the campus organization’s cate­ gory. Homecoming activities on Saturday got off to a fast start with the Wilkes - Hofstra soccer game at 11:00 a.m. Many alumni watched the Wilkes soccer team lose a hard-fought game to the Flying Dutch­ men of Hofstra by a 4 -1 score.

Miss Gail Roberts, social studies major, was crowned Homecoming Queen 1963 by Dr. Francis Mich­ elini, Dean of Academic Affairs. Homecoming Princesses were Miss Lorraine Dyers, a French major, and Miss Barbara Lore, an English major. Gifts were presented to the Queen and the Princesses by the Alumni Association, the Student Government, the Beacon, and by the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. The Alexander Room of the Host Motel was the scene of the class reunion dinners on Saturday evening. Ron­ ald Tremayne, ’58, presided as master of ceremonies. Guests of honor Dr. and Mrs. Francis Michelini were seated with the reunion committee members at the head table. Alumni from classes of ’43, ’48, ’53 and ’58 heard Dr. Michelini speak of important state and federal legislation which will affect Wilkes, of the immediate and long-range goals of the College, and of the ever-important need for continued and growing alumni support. Later in the evening, hundreds of alumni gathered in the spacious Dorian Room for the Annual Homecoming Dance, the concluding social event of the weekend. Election of officers took place during the Saturday festivities.

Gould Fifty years ago the American college or university proud­ ly reflected the alleged characteristics of our present-day British “Establishment.” It was intended for the few, comparatively speaking, and it kept its activities and its secrets to itself. In fact, it went still further, for once its own initiates had achieved their various degrees, even they were rather summarily ignored except for reunions, traditional gatherings at sports events, and requests for financial assistance. But a radical change has come about in recent decades. The medieval slits in the ivory tower are being trans­ formed into broad and open expanses of modern picture windows. These invite the curious to look in and they make such peeping easy, not only for the college or uni­ versity alumnus but for everybody who is interested. They also invite the scholar to look out and see clearly his responsibility for developing the larger community culture. With so much more viewing area and so much ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Samuel B. Gould, President of Educational Broadcasting Corporation, operators of Channel 13 (WNDT) in New York, has had a long and distinguished career in education and communications. Prior to assuming his new position, Dr. Gould was Chanc­ ellor of the University of California at Santa Barbara for three years. Dr. Gould was educated at Bates College and at New York, Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard Universities. He taught English in the senior high school at West Hartford, Connec­ ticut, was head of the Department of Speech of the Brook­ line, Massachusetts, Schools, organized and directed the Department of Communications at Boston University and served as Assistant to the President of Boston University. In 1954 he was appointed President of Antioch College in Ohio, leaving there in 1959 to accept the position of Chan­ cellor of the University of California, Santa Barbara. In World War II Dr. Gould served in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant Commander. He is a trustee of Wilberforce University, the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. Dr. Gould is also Chairman of the Board of the Broadcasting Foundation of America. Dr. Gould has been widely acclaimed for his forthright ideas on education. Some of his most important speeches have been put together in book form and published under the title KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ENOUGH. Copyright 1963 by Editorial Projects for Education, Inc.

And no other single tech­ nological tool presently in existence can do more to bring about this blessing than can television when it is properly used. n. The history of this rather amazing phenomenon, one that within a space of twenty years has become the tyrant of public time and taste, is worth examining. It was almost inevitable in America that television, the brainchild of scientific and technical workers, should have had its major force devoted to promoting values stemming from technology and materialism. Television was merely following a pattern that radio had previously established. In the 1920’s the Federal Communications Commission assigned a large number of AM radio fre­ quencies to educational purposes. One by one, however, either they were not taken up at all or when they were, they soon withered away from lack of financial support and stability. Gradually these frequencies gravitated to commercial interests quick to see the profit possibility, and a great opportunity to give education its place in the sun was lost. When television came into being, education once more was neither willing nor ready to take on the expense and responsibility of operating VHF channels. With almost no exceptions such channels were taken over by com­ mercial interests, just as had occurred in radio. A huge and powerful industry emerged, dominating virtually all the available channels and pointing its energies toward reaching and holding a great mass audience of all age levels and of all social, economic, and educational con­ ditions. That the first television activity of consequence in this country was geared to commercialism is significant. Its artistic and educational possibilities were sublimated from the beginning to those essential for advertising and sales. Programs of quality and variety do develop from a policy of commercialism, it is true, but all too many programs of inferior quality or questionable purpose also develop because of this policy. Today’s concentration upon the advertising of products and the development of programs sure to please and rare­ ly intended to tax the mind has led to an emphasis upon values in life that are compatible with a technological and materialistic society. The possession of things in larger quantity and better quality than ever before, already a dominant part of American life before the existence of television, has become even more important. Humane and individualistic values have been dealt with cavalierly. Adventure has been so completely equated with violence and bloodshed that a callousness toward the dignity of individual human life has unwittingly been fostered, with a minimum of countervailing portrayals of gentleness and graciousness. Conformity of many sorts has been en­ couraged — in dress, habits of eating, drinking, smoking, and the like; in recreational pleasures; in transportation; and even in family relationships. Correspondingly, a strong sense of the importance of security and an almost pathological avoidance of controversy have made their mark upon the values of the viewer. Just as this medium affects consumer habits and values, so does it also affect and alter standards of taste. If ratings are to be believed, the mass taste of our citizenry tends very largely toward western drama, family situation comedy, detective fiction, popular ballad singers, and comedians. It reflects a willingness to view the same stock plots and stereotype characters week after week to­ gether with an equal willingness to forgo any subtleties of dramatization or characterization. It reflects wholesale acceptance of the slick, the smooth, the competent pro­ gram in preference to the provocative. It reflects a kind �I I I of hypnosis or suspension of critical judgment overcoming the viewer as he sits hour after hour before his set. Another unmistakable influence of television relates to the disappearing regional differences in our population. Through network broadcasting and syndicated programs the same drama, music, comedy, special events, and even commercial messages are seen from border to border. Urban and rural citizens are subject to the same stimuli. The same catchwords are parroted everywhere from the television screen, and the same star performers are idol­ ized. All this testifies to the power and importance of the word “mass” inherent in the term “mass communica­ tions.” It should be noted that as these phenomena of mass taste have delevoped, a minority of respectable size has also emerged, a minority searching for the occasional pro­ gram of high purpose and merit with which the total tele­ vision schedule is dotted. Educational television seeks to provide a broader set of cultural choices for this minority and also undertakes to explore more systematically the instructional possibilities of the medium. At present there are over eighty educational television stations, with more to come. They vary greatly in size, power, financial stability, and program emphasis. There are also a number of closed circuit operations in school systems and universities. Together these illustrate the three purposes of educational television: to offer instruc­ tion through open circuit transmission, thus making the broadcasts available in school or at home; to offer in­ struction through closed circuit transmission, thus limit­ ing the broadcasts to a single building or group of build­ ings; to offer to the community cultural programs encom­ passing discussion of literature, art, or public affairs and performances of music, dance, drama, and so on. The most important possibility of educational television stems from the tradition of education itself, when prop­ erly interpreted. This tradition holds the individual in great respect, recognizing his potentiality for growth and endeavoring to help him toward fulfillment of that poten­ tiality. A sound process of education tries constantly to raise the level of understanding, to encourage students to higher expectations of their individual possibilities, and to protect them from being frozen into a conformist mass. If educational television is to perform its mission well, it must operate according to this self-same tradition, for if it questions the intellectual capacity of its viewers, it ceases to be creative and merely perpetuates mediocrity. m. ftit s So much for the history and characteristics of the medium. Of what importance is all this to alumni? The potentialities of television should be of interest to college and university alumni for at least three significant reasons. First, from a purely personal and selfish point of view, alumni should recognize the greatly expanded “refresher” possibilities television can make available. Some institutions of higher education, sensing the need for a deeper sort of relationship between themselves and alumni, are attempting systematically to revive the in­ tellectual interests of their graduates. A goodly number present such a revival opportunity, for example, through the so-called “alumni college,” usually organized for a few days at commencement time; a few institutions pro­ vide similar opportunities at periodic intervals of the academic year; a very few maintain an ongoing process of alumni education that parallels the regular program at least partially. The newly created Alumni Center at M.I.T. is an outstanding example of this kind of effort. But it is frequently difficult for one to return to school for a sustained period of time or even for an occasional evening or weekend in order to be updated in one’s pro fessional specialty or even in more general areas. And it it even more difficult today for the institution to find rooms and other resources to mount such a program being so absorbed in the almost overwhelming problem of how to provide education adequately for the increasing number of undergraduate students. 8 A logical solution would be the offering of telecourses for alumni, the subject matter fields chosen according to the wishes of alumni themselves, the courses presented by the college faculty and made available not only to alumni but to all who have the urge to participate. A systematic academically worthwhile program could be developed without the red tape and clutter of rules about course credit hours and all the rest. It could be adult or con­ tinuing education based upon its finest motivation, name­ ly that of learning for the joy of learning and nothing more. It could encompass literature, the arts, the sciences6 and world affairs. And it would require no classrooms’ no subway or bus or automobile rides, no large number of faculty, no registration procedures, no examinations. Second, from such a beginning in adult education by tele­ vision, spurred by the interest of alumni, could come more confidence on the part of our institutions of higher edu­ cation in the adaptation of this approach for the under­ graduate student also — a more complicated procedure for the latter, perhaps, but nonetheless possible. Results of experiments show conclusively that there are many ways to use television effectively, ways that make possible new techniques of instruction or that help in coping with enormous student bodies and inadequate physical facil­ ities. This is not to advocate the substitution of television for all our conventional methods; it is rather to plead for its intelligent and proper use where it performs a partic­ ular service otherwise not practicable. For example, it can bring each, student in a class of three hundred as close to the slide under the biology professor’s micro­ scope as though he were at the professor’s side. Similarly, it can guarantee that the maximum number of students will have the opportunity to benefit from the instruction of the most distinguished and ablest faculty members. Third, the potentialities of television should make alumni realize more fully their responsibilities as educated men and women for the cultural development of their com­ munities. This powerful instrument can open new vistas to great numbers of people hitherto unreached. Mass education and mass culture can be raised to new levels of understanding and appreciation once there is an aware­ ness of how important and how attainable such levels are. Democratic approaches to culture are not predestined to culminate in mediocrity. Only because there has been a passive attitude or even a snobbish attitude on the part of intellectual leaders has such mediocrity come into being. But with intelligence and perseverance on the part of the community leaders and with the use of all the communicative means at hand, new emphasis can be placed upon the fundamental values by which we live and the gracious attributes of an enlightened society. College and university alumni must be in the forefront of such a community movement since they are fitted by background for the task. And in performing this task they can and should turn to the exciting and rewarding possibilities of reaching into every home by television. The process of elevating the public taste may be slow but, if properly and assiduously pursued, it will be sure. Television can carry on this process inexpensively and effectively, offering a rich and varied sampling of all aspects of education and culture and strengthening the inner fibre of America. Here, then, is a new mission for alumni — contemporary, vital, unceasing, and dynamic. pagi! 1IB r' JFmhim Athletes Meet Alumni have figured prominently in athletic events held recently at our Alma Mater. On September 21, former soccermen engaged the current varsity and proved that age and additional pounds do not hinder the love for the game and the desire to win.

Subscription — $2.00 �BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS It is indeed a pleasure to return to Wilkes as a participant in these exercises that mark the culmination of your years of undergraduate education. It is especially appropriate that this segment of your commencement activities should be attended primarily by the parents of our graduates. To­ morrow evening’s ceremonies will be more formal, and at­ tended by a larger number of friends and relatives, but to­ night is devoted to sharing more intimately this happy oc­ casion with your families. This is most appropriate, for each of you is aware of the love and sacrifice every parent has made to bring you to this point in your life. This is true of me as well as you, and I would like to publicly ac­ knowledge this debt by presenting to you one to whom I owe so much for the love, guidance and encouragement throughout my life — my mother. During my initial thinking about a topic for my address this evening, I decided to find out exactly what “Baccalau­ reate” meant. It is one of those words that one accepts intuitively — and as usual — my intuition was wrong. I found that it was, as I expected, “a sermon delivered to a graduating class at commencement,” but what threw me was sermon. When I looked this up, I found it defined as “a lecture on one’s conduct or duty, hence, an annoying harangue." I couldn’t believe that you graduates who know me as Wilkes College’s cherry-pie-eating champion (re­ tired), watermelon-eating champion (retired), and donkey basketball low scorer (retired), would expect from me an “annoying harangue.” Instead, I will try to develop more of what I hope will be perspective rather than annoyance through my address tonight. A professor invited to give the baccalaureate address at Yale started his address by saying he realized they had worked hard for four years to get to this point and that he didn’t want to bore them with a long speech. Instead, he would simply take YALE and briefly examine each letter. He then took “Y” and developed the theme of Youth for 45 minutes; “A” and discussed Allegiance for another 45 minutes; then on to “L” for Law for another 45 minutes. As he was proceeding into “E” he noticed a student kneel­ ing in the aisle with his hands clasped. The speaker looked, hesitated in his speech, then said, “Son, is anything the matter?” Boy said, “No, not really, I’m just thanking God I'm not graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.” This sufficiently impressed me, as jokes usually do, that I thought about a similar approach; expansion on WILKES— not, I hasten to add, at 45 minutes per letter. by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Dean of Administrative Affairs and Professor of Biology, currently on leave with the National Science Foundation, Washington, D. C. No great problem was presented in finding a word that would convey a significant meaning for W. One of the first proofs for the existence of God, as I recall it from one of my courses in Theology many years ago, is the “Nature and Order that exists in the Universe.” To a biologist the cur­ rent understanding of this proof is a wondrous thing. I chose the word Wonder, because I think one of the most misunderstood relationships in the world today is the re­ lationship between science and religion. I say misunder­ stood because today science has produced a deeper insight into this first proof of God than any other sphere of human activity. paqu|i? Man can be quite an egomaniac when it comes to God — seems strange doesn’t it — but in a society where almost everyone tacitly acknowledges that he cannot understand a computer; that he really doesn’t know why his car goes (except that if it doesn’t when he turns the key, he calls the AAA); that he cannot understand, and doesn't claim to, the elements in a mob that produce riots and hysteria — yet despite all the things he does not know he DOES pre­ sume to know all about God! In science, one does not pre­ sume that he knows the answers or completely understands the workings of nature. One of the reasons Western civil­ ization has progressed so fantastically is because we make the assumption that one can understand if one makes the attempt and phrases a question of nature that will produce a meaningful answer. In many instances the apparent atheist who said about the thunderstorm and lightning, about sickness and disease, “I do not believe this was caused by God or Gods but has some understandable physical reason or cause” — was expressing a belief of an order in the uni­ verse that bespoke a greater, more meaningful God, than the ones being ruled out in order to initiate the inquiry. The current understanding of the various biological and physical phenomena that enable us to discuss such things as: 1. controlled atomic fission and fusion to produce power 2. precise orbital position of a Venus probe 3. utilization of a laser bean to surgically reattach the retina of the eye 4. construction of the genetic material from artifically synthesized molecular parts 5. potential understanding of cell and organ development that will make disease a rarity, and consider them susceptible to our understanding is truly a fantastic affirmation of this first proof of God — the belief in the existence of order in the universe. Without the tacit assumption that such order exists, the scientist would have no cause to expect a logical answer to his questions, no reason to expect that he can extend his results reasonably to predict a new situation and problem. In one of his re­ cent addresses, Dr. Waterman, Director of the National Science Foundation, said, “Perhaps one hopeful aspect of our times is that some part, at least, of the energy and in­ genuity that for centuries have been dissipated in wars is being channeled into the conquest of space and other major scientific undertakings. "Perhaps we have come full circle; for science, which in the beginning was known as natural philosophy, has in the ensuing centuries opened so many doors and asked so many questions that it must once more link hands with philosophy to help us find the answers." In my alphabet of Wilkes, therefore, I want to put into some meaningful perspective the Wonders that you will exper­ ience and contribute to in your lifetime — the wonder of an understanding of nature that flows into the mainstream of a more fundamental understanding of God. All of your human activity exists within this frame of reference of an orderly universe subject to fundamental laws that we as men can yet only glimpse. I seemed one of the easiest letters in the Wilkes alphabet to develop. Intelligence, Ignorance — certainly we could gain much from a brief concern about what constitutes intelli­ gence — the sorry fact that an intelligent person, when swayed by emotion ■— with a mind closed by bigotry or a false image — can be more abysmally ignorant than the moron — but this didn’t seem quite what I felt I wanted to say. The selection of a theme for I came from a Wilkes graduate of 1958 and is expressed by the word Individual. On Memorial Day — when all pay homage to the men and women who gave their lives to preserve our country — we drove out to Arlington National Cemetery. Neil Dadurka is buried there, and we went to visit his grave. It takes a very unusual person not to respond to the deeply peaceful spirituality of those grounds. I thought a great deal about page|3 Neil and it seemed especially appropriate that thi he gave through his death should be a part of this i Neil was not an unusual Wilkes student; true, fine wrestler, with a singleness of purpose when that enabled him consistently to overcome a sui ponent. He was an outstanding individual perfo in football, he was a real team player who blend dividual efforts with those of others. He was typi that he had an occasional academic problem. He li and became a Marine jet pilot. Again in his jet ti overcame personal shortcomings by fighting hi working harder. Finally this chapter of his life e> a flame-out over the Los Angeles suburbs. He split-second decision to be made — whether to sa but run the risk of his plane crashing into a popul or to stay with it and guide it to a rural area at t this opportunity to survive. He stayed with it — out beyond the suburbs — crash-landed and died crash injuries. What do I feel he stands for? Neil was an individual — he had the problems every : human being has, and he solved them as we all an effort of his own resources and with work. Wilkes for individual — what each of us is and n every daily effort; an individual in our judgm viduals in our opinions; individuals in every sei democratic society such as ours is dedicated to where the individuals right to speak freely, to re and to arrive at independent judgment must be Yet at the moment of decision the deciding facto was not rooted in his freedom as an individual, stead the highest order of human achievement; 1 mental recognition of a responsibility above that a concern for others. When the chips are down characteristic of the individual that carries th> meaning for us. Certainly a great deal of your li decisions will be based on individual concerns a In addition to this, however, must be the awaren even higher concern we as individuals must have Certainly this concern for others is fundament Judeo-Christian traditions. Among Pope John’ readings was this, “My son, in proportion as you yourself, so will you be able to enter into me College would not be here were it not for the i in our community who go beyond concern of S( and work for others. Participation in communi United Fund drives — yes — even in alumni acti less spectacular but no less meaningful affirmati higher order of human activity by the indivic Dadurka demonstrated the extremes of these resp< that we all have, the responsibility to do full jus individual capabilities, yet ever aware of a highc concern for others. You cannot be less heroic : to fulfill yourselves as contributing members society. For L I selected Loyalty. I think we are all awa are loyal to something — loyal to our country friends — loyal to our school, etc. But as you an point in your careers it might be well to re-exa loyalties and what they mean. Certainly we relate loyalty to patriotism, a will fight and die for our country. Are we equally re late loyalty and patriotism to a willingness to a gage in exercising our responsibilities as citize this loyalty extend to filling out an honest tax r exercising our voting franchise? We are loyal to the ideal of family responsibili willing to sacrifice for our children so that the an education; but, are we willing to be active ii munity activity necessary to keep others aware ol sity for new schools, better teachers, good text! These may seem like digressions from my the gaining a new perspective on some of the elerr creasing importance in your lives, your loval major significance. Each of us must develop t certain loyalties. These may be to an ideal a : jective, or both. (Continued �:alaureate 5DRESS Francis J.

One of the reasons Western civil­ ization has progressed so fantastically is because we make the assumption that one can understand if one makes the attempt and phrases a question of nature that will produce a meaningful answer. In many instances the apparent atheist who said about the thunderstorm and lightning, about sickness and disease, "I do not believe this was caused by God or Gods but has some understandable physical reason or cause” — was expressing a belief of an order in the uni­ verse that bespoke a greater, more meaningful God, than the ones being ruled out in order to initiate the inquiry. The current understanding of the various biological and physical phenomena that enable us to discuss such things as: 1. controlled atomic fission and fusion to produce power 2. precise orbital position of a Venus probe 3. utilization of a laser bean to surgically reattach the retina of the eye 4. construction of the genetic material from artifically synthesized molecular parts 5. potential understanding of cell and organ develop­ ment that will make disease a rarity, and consider them susceptible to our understanding is truly a fantastic affirmation of this first proof of God — the belief in the existence of order in the universe. Without the tacit assumption that such order exists, the scientist would have no cause to expect a logical answer to his questions, no reason to expect that he can extend his results reasonably to predict a new situation and problem. In one of his re­ cent addresses, Dr. Waterman, Director of the National Science Foundation, said, “Perhaps one hopeful aspect of our times is that some part, at least, of the energy and in­ genuity that for centuries have been dissipated in wars is being channeled into the conquest of space and other major scientific undertakings. “Perhaps we have come full circle; for science, which in the beginning was known as natural philosophy, has in the ensuing centuries opened so many doors and asked so many questions that it must once more link hands with philosophy to help us find the answers.” In my alphabet of Wilkes, therefore, I want to put into some meaningful perspective the Wonders that you will exper­ ience and contribute to in your lifetime — the wonder of an understanding of nature that flows into the mainstream of a more fundamental understanding of God. All of your human activity exists within this frame of reference of an orderly universe subject to fundamental laws that we as men can yet only glimpse. 1 seemed one of the easiest letters in the Wilkes alphabet to develop. Intelligence, Ignorance — certainly we could gain much from a brief concern about what constitutes intelli­ gence — the sorry fact that an intelligent person, when swayed by emotion — with a mind closed by bigotry or a false image — can be more abysmally ignorant than the moron — but this didn’t seem quite what I felt I wanted to say. The selection of a theme for I came from a Wilkes graduate of 1958 and is expressed by the word Individual. On Memorial Day — when all pay homage to the men and women who gave their lives to preserve our country — we drove out to Arlington National Cemetery. Neil Dadurka is buried there, and we went to visit his grave. It takes a very unusual person not to respond to the deeply peaceful spirituality of those grounds. I thought a great deal about pagn 13 Neil and it seemed especially appropriate that the message he gave through his death should be a part of this ceremony. Neil was not an unusual Wilkes student; true, he was a fine wrestler, with a singleness of purpose when wrestling that enabled him consistently to overcome a superior op­ ponent. He was an outstanding individual performer, yet, in football, he was a real team player who blended his in­ dividual efforts with those of others. He was typical too in that he had an occasional academic problem. He left Wilkes and became a Marine jet pilot. Again in his jet training he overcame personal shortcomings by fighting harder and working harder. Finally this chapter of his life ended with a flame-out over the Los Angeles suburbs. Here was a split-second decision to be made — whether to safely eject, but run the risk of his plane crashing into a populated area, or to stay with it and guide it to a rural area at the cost of this opportunity to survive. He stayed with it — coaxed it out beyond the suburbs — crash-landed and died from his crash injuries. What do I feel he stands for? Neil Dadurka was an individual — he had the problems every individual human being has, and he solved them as we all must; by an effort of his own resources and with work. The I in Wilkes for individual — what each of us is and must be in every daily effort; an individual in our judgment; indi­ viduals in our opinions; individuals in every sense that a democratic society such as ours is dedicated to serving — where the individuals right to speak freely, to read freely, and to arrive at independent judgment must be preserved. Yet at the moment of decision the deciding factor for Neil was not rooted in his freedom as an individual. It was in­ stead the highest order of human achievement; the funda­ mental recognition of a responsibility above that of self — a concern for others. When the chips are down it is this characteristic of the individual that carries the greatest meaning for us. Certainly a great deal of your life and it’s decisions will be based on individual concerns and needs. In addition to this, however, must be the awareness of the even higher concern we as individuals must have for others. Certainly this concern for others is fundamental in our Judeo-Christian traditions. Among Pope John’s favorite readings was this, “My son, in proportion as you go out of yourself, so will you be able to enter into me.” Wilkes College would not be here were it not for the individuals in our community who go beyond concern of self to give and work for others. Participation in community affairs, United Fund drives — yes — even in alumni activities, is a less spectacular but no less meaningful affirmation of this higher order of human activity by the individual. Neil Dadurka demonstrated the extremes of these responsibilities that we all have, the responsibility to do full justice to our individual capabilities, yet ever aware of a higher order of concern for others. You cannot be less heroic if you are to fulfill yourselves as contributing members of a free society. For L I selected Loyalty. I think we are all aware that we are loyal to something — loyal to our country — loyal to friends — loyal to our school, etc. But as you arrive at this point in your careers it might be well to re-examine your loyalties and what they mean. Certainly we relate loyalty to patriotism, a willingness to fight and die for our country. Are we equally ready to re­ late loyalty and patriotism to a willingness to actively en­ gage in exercising our responsibilities as citizens? Does this loyalty extend to filling out an honest tax return — to exercising our voting franchise? We are loyal to the ideal of family responsibility and are willing to sacrifice for our children so that they may get an education; but, are we willing to be active in the com­ munity activity necessary to keep others aware of the neces­ sity for new schools, better teachers, good textbooks, etc.? These may seem like digressions from my theme but in gaming a new perspective on some of the elements of in­ creasing importance in your lives, your loyalties are of major significance. Each of us must develop through life certain loyalties. These may be to an ideal, a specific ob­ jective, or both. (Continued on Page 9) �COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS by Admiral Albert G. Mumma, U. S. N. Retired, Vice-President, group Executive of the Board of the Worthington Corporation. Ladies and gentlemen of the Graduating Class, President and Honored Guests! It gives me particular pleasure to be here to-day at this commencement exercise — first, because of my great friend­ ship and respect for your Trustee and former Commanding Officer of mine, Admiral Harold R. Stark. I note with satis­ faction the position that the Harold R. Stark Science Hall occupies on this campus and in the plans for the future of this institution. My second reason for my pleasure in talking to you stems from the recognition that this college is a young, vigorous and growing institution. Let me go back more than a century to 1845. Secretary of the Navy, George Bancroft had succeeded in convincing the Congress that we needed a Naval Academy for the training of engineers for the Navy. The line officers of the Navy were then abundantly trained as midshipmen before the mast in the school of hard knocks and bitter experience, but the demands of technology brought on by the adoption of steam in the Navy were so great that a shore-side school was finally established for the training of these engineers. The Military Academy at West Point already existed with a civil engineering bias in addition to the military training of officers for the Army. By 1880 the stature of these two schools had attained such recognition that twelve graduates, six from each academy, were loaned to several institutions for the purpose of fostering engineering curricula in these schools. Among these were Dr. Albert A. Michaelson of Speed of Light fame, and Dr. W. F. Durand who, between them, were responsible for the engineering excellence at CALTECH, Cornell and Stanford. Dr. Durand was a found­ ing member of the National Advisory Committee for Aero­ nautics and, until his death only a few years ago, was dean of all American engineers. During these years, prior to 1900, the Navy sent its officers to Europe for post graduate education after completing the course at the Naval Academy, but in 1901 it was felt that sufficient stature had been achieved at MIT and their post graduate training was transferred to that institution. I chart this background merely to indicate the extremely close link that your Navy has had with the development of engineering and scientific education as well as its intense interest in research and industrial development. Prior to World War II this nation was still considered a somewhat backward nation from a scientific viewpoint though we had achieved great industrial progress. During this war, as is usually the case, tremendous research and development effort was stimulated by the sense of urgency and necessity for survival. An example was the development of the atomic bomb by the Manhattan project. In this case top military and scien­ tific personnel were brought together for one preeminent purpose, to attempt to overcome a two-year lead that Ger­ man scientists had achieved in creating a chain reaction by nuclear fission. There were three most promising methods of achieving this result. The first two, different methods of separation of U235 from U238, were the thermal diffu­ sion process and the electro magnetic process. The third, was the production of a newly discovered fissionable ma­ terial, plutonium, through its manufacture in a nuclear re­ actor. The big lesson that came from this project was the urgency put a new dimension on the saving of time. Hence, all three projects were pursued simultaneously. And it is to the everlasting credit of the scientists, engineers, and technicians on each that all three were successful. Had they been attacked individually in series no one can say how disasterous or far reaching a failure might have been. This project, therefore, was an object lesson to all of us working in all fields of science and engineering that the one irretrievable and most precious ingredient of research is TIME. Today we see a large national effort in research and de­ velopment and a great clamoring for scientists and Ph.D’s. Ladies and gentlemen, we need engineers and technicians, and skilled machinists, and good draftsmen with great ur­ gency and in some industries the need for the latter groups is far greater. There has grown up in the United States, in addition to the other class problems of race, creed and color, a sort of educational snobbery in which a scientist looks down at a lower plane of engineers and they are in turn somewhat sorry for a lower class of technicians. This is a luxury of attitude that we cannot afford. We need all levels and a completely cooperating team of scientists, engineers and technicians to make the maximum contribution in the short­ est possible time. Today in laboratories we find Ph.D’s doing work that can easily be done by engineers and tech­ nicians. This dilutes the efficiency of his scientific efforts and wastes time. Today approximately half of the competent high school graduates attend college and approximately half of them drop out before receiving a degree. We also see the paradox where some of the more brilliant graduates are snapped up by industry and are paid so handsomely that they lose their motivation for going on to a Ph.D. Sometimes this paradox leaves the graduate door open to second and third best stu­ dents who then become the Ph.D’s with a less creative over­ all result. We also find that many of those in college who are inter­ ested in engineering but are unable to excel in that field choose to graduate with a liberal arts degree and ignore en­ gineering thereafter. Then there is the young high school graduate who should go to college but can’t afford it, who is given insufficient opportunity to attend on scholarship or other financial grants.

Ladies and gentlemen, one final emphasis again on the vital importance of Time. Once gone it is irretrievable. Use it wisely now. pagu|4 a © [KI & 0.

Recog­ nizing the future financial needs of the College, and aware of the fact that such needs are only fulfilled when individuals assume personal re­ sponsibility for their fulfillment, members of this year’s senior class since an initial meeting in May have pledged $2,118.00 to establish this Fund. At the senior luncheon prior to Commencement, the class decided to increase the initial sum of $2,118.00 by adding to it the class memorial fund which totals $1,482.00. Thus a Fund of $3,600.00 has been established for the College by our most recent alumni, members of the Class of 1963. Desiring that the participation by all members of the Class in creating this Fund would high­ light what each person can help to accomplish, the officers and trustees of the Class of 1963 are hopeful that this effort will encourage all other alumni to participate in the annual alumni campaign now in progress. Pictured at left are mem­ bers of the Class of 1963 whose fine leadership was instrumental in establishing the Class of 1963 Fund.

Ours is one of the few civilizations in history in which such a learning experience is considered an appropriate human right. As a biologist it has always intrigued me what con­ flicts can develop as a result of our increased understanding of ourselves and the natural world. People react to this new knowledge in a variety of ways. One very characteristic response is, “Don’t bother me with the facts, my mind is made up.” We all know, of course, of the so-called “explo­ sion” of knowledge that is occuring in our time. This use of the word explosion is unfortunate — for this intimates subsidence after the initial burst. This is not the case. Our knowledge will continue to expand at an increasing rate in all areas of human activity. My association with the Nation­ al Science Foundation has made me increasingly aware of this activity in the sciences, but there is now developing considerable activity in the area of the humanities. Recently a Commission of the Humanities was formed that will, I feel sure, stimulate a surge of new activity in knowledge and understanding in this area. What do we do when this new knowledge shakes some of our firmly entrenched beliefs? How do we respond to new in­ formation giving greater insight into the nature of man? Do we pass laws against the dissemination of these new ideas if they affront us? Do we censor our libraries to “protect" the young impressionable minds of our youth? Maybe my biologists background is intruding too much here, but it has served to make me aware of one thing; man is irrevocably a member of the animal kingdom. If we are to consider him “Godlike” it cannot be in the physical sense. It is indeed most logical that the ability of man to think, to learn, to understand his intellect and free will are the characteristics that set him apart and distinguish him from the rest of the animal kingdom, that truly make him a crea­ ture of God. An appreciation of this opens the door to a new insight to knowledge and our attitudes toward it. If this intellectual capability is vested in us by God — a re­ fusal to use this capacity by closing our minds to the fruits of its use becomes a very serious moral issue. It’s like saying “Thanks God for making me different from the beasts of the forest, for making me capable of a truer understanding of your greatness — but who needs it? I’m happy — I don’t want to use this ability — and even more — I don’t want to permit anyone else to use it. Burn the book! Ban that idea!” Is this really a morally sound response? I think all of us must recognize the moral obligation to utilize these God­ given powers of understanding — to strive constantly to know truth — in all areas of human activity. Truth can only result from increased knowledge and can never be complete. Our greatest sin as children of God would be to ignore this responsibility to use our minds to our maximum ability.

I may be influ­ enced in this respect by the proximity of the problem while in Washington. Unquestionably, this is a potentially explo­ sive issue politically, but more significantly it is basically a moral issue. This will not be resolved by laws, force, token response, but only by the individual who will examine the basic issues posed by a society that offers equality in its documents and words, but does not grant it in practice. I think it is incumbent upon each of you to examine the meaning of equality — determine your values and act con­ sistent with them. Certainly the outcome of the battle for equality now being waged in America will affect the nature of the international environment in which our children and their children will live. We must find a solution to these problems. As President Kennedy so bluntly stated it — “In these moments of tragic disorder, a special burden rests on the educated men and women of our country — to reject the temptations of prejudice and violence, and to reaffirm the values of freedom and law on which our society de­ pends.” This area of human rights and human dignity is one in which you bear a major responsibility. I only hope to leave you with a recognition of the role you must play in the solution of these problems. As a baccalaureate address I have tried to develop our alpha­ bet of WILKES with an emphasis on the spiritual perspec­ tive we must develop in all of our human activities. It might seem appropriate for me to select science for our last alphabet letter, but I prefer spiritual. We have gone from improving our national lot as wilderness settlers, to territorial expansion and acquisition of additional natural resources, to improvement by production and de­ velopment of a complex, but comparatively wealthy society. Our next great challenge is the development of the indi­ vidual, not as a regimented automation, but as an individual with many capabilities. This is an era of attainment charac­ terized by development of our brainpower. Real progress is that which will give the greatest numbers of people bene­ ficial control over their future. In our efforts to continue our progress we must utilize this resource of the human mind as effectively as possible. This is the great challenge to the educator and it must be met. Through all this edu­ cational effort though we must remember that facts, in­ ventiveness and possession of knowledge are good, but un­ principled and unguided use of the “power of knowledge,” could be ruthless. There must be guidelines for us to follow. Guidelines based on intangible principles have gone a long way toward mak­ ing this country what it is today. Such words as “ideals, standards, religion, pride and patriotism,” recur in any ex­ pression of those principles. These are all spiritual words. Are they old-fashioned, outmoded for these modern times? Aren’t people “square” who talk about spiritual beliefs? Isn’t this rather a time to live it up, look for kicks, grab a buck, live for the day? There’s only one way I know of to answer these questions. It is by looking back to chart the rise and fall of other civil­ izations. And when you do that you find that spiritual ideals — far from being impractical — are the very “stuff” of survival. Every great society which came into being and long endured, did so on the basis of convictions and beliefs so strong that they lifted individuals clear out of themselves and caused them to live — and die — for some aim or pur­ pose nobler and better than themselves. Look back and you will see that the whole fabric of this Nation’s growth, of its success and its glory, was woven of spiritual belief in liberty and in justice. Look forward and you will see no substitute for these spiritual values if we hope to see our civilization survive and prosper. �HE USE IF HE iimnm The obvious advantage of a language laboratory is the much more active and effective partici­ pation of the individual student in the learning process. by Dr. Cees J. Frijters ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES The teacher’s voice reaches the student’s ear directly, without any distracting noises in the classroom and from the outside world. The student, sitting in a fenced-off area, headphones on, can not be distracted: he is ‘all ear’. WILKES COLLEGE r | s 3 jH rl Language is a means of commu­ nication. The learning process, therefore, requires not only prac­ tice of the ear, but also practice of the vocal organs. Whereas in the traditional classroom a stu­ dent spends most of his time in listening to someone else perform, H?’ in the language laboratory ° students at the same time are actively engaged with the subject matter. Speaking into his microphone the student hears instan­ taneously his response through his headphones. Meanwhile, he is recording both the master tape and his own responses, which en­ ables him to compare his pro­ nunciation with the instructor’s. He is freed from the fear of em­ barrassment and ridicule. He does not hear the mistakes of others. The teacher can communicate with him individually and help him. Because of this direct contact with the sound source, because of the forced concentration, and because of the self-controlled speech practice, a language laboratory surpasses any other type of lan­ guage teaching. The disadvantages of a language lab are obvious, too. There is a human side to the animals that we are.

But for page|ID a situation in which a student speaks his native language while learning one or two other languages, this approach seems very unrealistic. Once the stu­ dent has finished his college educa­ tion, it is only in exceptional cases that he keeps in close contact with the foreign language. The result is that all ’patterns’ learned with so much hard­ ship are forgotten. The only thing re­ tained is whatever insight into that language has been achieved. In prac­ tice this proves to be so little that a survey showed that with 7 or 8 years since graduation almost two-thirds of the Ph.D. holders in Psychology had not read a single article or book in the language they supposedly mastered, and about 70% had made no spoken use of the language. J. Among the comments of those who experimented with tapes as an aid to foreign language teaching, the follow­ ing negative remarks are found: the learning task is broken into a rela­ tively large number of small steps; this fragmentation makes it difficult to ob­ tain a larger or overall view of the complex interrelations that exist in an organized structure; what is achieved by the drills is more practice than un­ derstanding; they do not make any de­ mands on the student’s intellectual ca­ pabilities and analytical sense; stu­ dents like to figure things out; the drills, therefore, become boring; the imitation is dull as is the learning by heart. Briefly, our textbooks, with or with­ out tapes, show an amazing lack of or­ ganization. They are based on prac­ tice, on frequency of occurence, on use in everyday life, and for the rest as unorganized as conversation is. The subject matter is not organized, from a linguistic point of view. In one and the same lesson a diversity of gram­ matical problems may be presented, whereas related problems are kept separate. With these textbooks and recorded drills we enter a language laboratory. No wonder that the pros and cons of a language lab are still subject to extensive discussion. Extreme organization is exactly the basic requirement for programming the devices of the new, audio-lingual technology. What we need, to obtain quality instruction, is a system to go along with the hardware, a new technology in the field of foreign language teach­ ing based on the application of audio­ lingual equipment, programmed learn­ ing and modern linguistics. Programmed learning is a method applying self-instructional devices which provide the learner with a se­ quence of problems that require some action on the part of the student at every step of the program, and which take him from a low to a high level of proficiency in a given subject matter; the self-instructional device must also provide immediate confirmation about paijii 111 the correctness of the learner’s effort. We program computers by storing a set of instructions. The machine then performs the miracle: an output which goes far beyond the input. In the lan­ guage laboratory there is also an in­ put. However, the output is no more than a distribution of the input over, for example, 25 booths. If the input is a song, then the result is no more than the same song heard in 25 booths. The term ‘programmed learning’ can hardly be applied. It is different when stu­ dents are exposed to carefully pre­ pared drills, put on tape, adapted to the level of grammar covered. But thinking about the term ‘programmed learning’ and about mechanization in general, one comes to the conclusion, that in language teaching we stand only at the beginning of a rapidly ex­ panding process. Mechanization can only be applied effectively and suc­ cessfully where we deal with organized systems. Modern linguistics states that a lan­ guage is a systematic structure. And a grammar of a language is supposed to describe this systematic structure. Al­ though the linguist has increasingly concerned himself with semantics on a scientific basis, his major concern is the grammar of a language. In lan­ guage teaching the area of the living language is usually reserved for the traditional language teacher. When linguistics as such is not a part of the curriculum, the linguist will usually teach one or more languages on an elementary basis depending on his specialization within the field. The encounter between the tradi­ tional language teacher and the lin­ guist is often a difficult one. The for­ mer is a specialist in the field of liter­ ature, the latter is not. The latter is a specialist in linguistics, the former is not, but he has been teaching gram­ mar for years. And practice very often seems to be more important than the­ ory. It is true that using a second lan­ guage requires more than knowing the structure of that language. But it is true, too, that if we swear by habit for habit’s sake we may acquire quite a few bad habits once we are left on our own, because we have forgotten how to behave. The linguist covers only part of the area of language instruction but he covers exactly that part of the lan­ guage that presents itself as an or­ ganized system and that, therefore, lends itself to ‘mechanization’. Thus a language laboratory, used as a self-in­ structional device, belongs first of all in the domain of the linguist. It is my opinion that proper use of the language lab will reduce all dis­ advantages and problems to a mini­ mum and will bring out the enormous advantages it has to offer. The “immobility” of the tape is no longer a disadvantage, since the tape is primarily used for only that part of the language which is far as the grammar of be called immobile.

The student, sitting in a fenced-off area, headphones on, can not be distracted: he is ‘all ear’. Language is a means of commu­ nication. The learning process, therefore, requires not only prac­ tice of the ear, but also practice of the vocal organs. Whereas in the traditional classroom a stu­ dent spends most of his time in listening to someone else perform, ™.’ in the language laboratory all students at the same time are ac­ tively engaged with the subject matter. Speaking into his micro­ phone the student hears instan­ taneously his response through his headphones. Meanwhile, he is recording both the master tape and his own responses, which en­ ables him to compare his pro­ nunciation with the instructor’s. He is freed from the fear of em­ barrassment and ridicule. He does not hear the mistakes of others. The teacher can communicate with him individually and help him. Because of this direct contact with the sound source, because of the forced concentration, and be­ cause of the self-controlled speech practice, a language laboratory surpasses any other type of language teaching. The disadvantages of a language lab are obvious, too. There is a human side to the animals that we are. The contact with the for­ eign language through the elec­ tronic and electro-mechanical me­ dia is a more or less unnatural one. Speaking is communicating, and gestures and facial cxPres“ sions may not be essential They play, however, an integral part in the communication process. It may be true that when listemng to the radio and speaking over the telephone, we are content with the same minimum contact. Nevertheless, the contact between teacher and student in class is richer and more natural. Another disadvantage is the ‘immobility’ of such a ‘perpetuum mobile’ as a tape. The student, caught up in the constant motion of that teaching wheel, may feel the strain of the monotony of the pronunciation drills. Textbooks may hardly leave room for any sidetrips, but students feel tra­ ditional instruction to be more flexible and less boring than a continuously demanding master­ tape. Because of the disadvantages just mentioned, and because of the fact that we are tied to our handbooks, many language teachers consider a language laboratory .. -------------------a— r..,-----to ibe no more±ithan useful com­ plement to regular classroom in­ structions. In elementary classes students can listen to a record, preferably a song with clear and simple lyrics, which can be recited by a native speaker and then, sentence by sentence, repeated by the stu­ dents. In the more advanced classes they can listen to choirs with orchestras, to operas and plays. Since the purpose here is to get to know at the same time the culture of the country, the language of which they are learnJTOCT 1 Tnzizwdo .taii-Lt — 1 ing, Cl such records might also Tbe played in a regular classroom, be­ cause the direct contact between sound source and ear is not nec­ essary and the human contact is more desirable. A dictation may be given for —t exam or test purposes. A passage i which is being read in the classroom, -icooi will, can be recorded and played ; back; many texts today are tape-recorded. Newly published textbooks usu- , ------come with a set of tapes —i..j_ exercises such as which includes dialogues, drill patterns, pronunciation drills. Since not every school has access to a language lab, the publishers stress the point that the book can very well be used without using the tapes However, once one has decided to use a modern textbook, one also wants all the audio-lingual ad­ vantages it provides. And if a teacher wants to include in his program the other useful and more enjoyable applications of the lab mentioned above, then he will feel the need for an additional hour. If he is limited to three class hours, either his course can only be less comprehensive, or the lab will usually stay empty or the ‘speed’ factor will affect the quality of his teaching more than it already does. As long as we look at a lan­ guage laboratory as a complement to ‘regular’ instruction, we will feel the need for a complementary hour to cover the same material. But here as in any other field of technology, mechanization should lead to an accelerating and time­ saving process. Unfortunately, manufacturers have been con­ cerned , . with the development of machines more than educators with the development of materials for use. Whereas in the computer field specific software is supplied with the hardware by the mann­ facturers, language laboratories are (je]iverecj without any pro­ grams, and most of the publishers either adapted their textbooks to the use of tapes, or developed tapes to fit their textbooks. These textbooks and in general our elementary language teaching are based on the conversational approach, on the learning of socalled patterns. In fact, they are rather sentence drills, a few thou­ sand out of the millions possible. Learning a sentence means mem­ orizing a sentence. For the stu­ dent not gifted with a photographic memory or a memory for a sound stretch, it means hours of hammering the sentence into his head. Grammar is not ex­ cluded, but the accent is so much on practice that the student with the best memory has the best chance. Conversations may illustrate the grammatical points discussed in the lesson, but they ‘illustrate’ also grammar which will be discussed in subsequent lessons. The student is expected to retain these structures or difficult expressions vuav ,...,1,11..; .subconsciously. >L* -----— * would believe in such a natural language learning process, if th® learner would live in the speech community, as i any child learning its native laiinguage does. But for page|10 a situation in which a student speaks his native language while learning one or two other languages, this approach seems very unrealistic. Once the stu­ dent has finished his college educa­ tion, it is only in exceptional cases that he keeps in close contact with the foreign language. The result is that all ‘patterns’ learned with so much hard­ ship are forgotten. The only thing re­ tained is whatever insight into that language has been achieved. In prac­ tice this proves to be so little that a survey showed that with 7 or 8 years since graduation almost two-thirds of the Ph.D. holders in Psychology had not read a single article or book in the language they supposedly mastered, and about 70% had made no spoken use of the language. J Among the comments of those who experimented with tapes as an aid to foreign language teaching, the follow­ ing negative remarks are found: the learning task is broken into a rela­ tively large number of small steps; this fragmentation makes it difficult to ob­ tain a larger or overall view of the complex interrelations that exist in an organized structure; what is achieved by the drills is more practice than un­ derstanding; they do not make any de­ mands on the student’s intellectual ca­ pabilities and analytical sense; stu­ dents like to figure things out; the drills, therefore, become boring; the imitation is dull as is the learning by heart. Briefly, our textbooks, with or with­ out tapes, show an amazing lack of or­ ganization. They are based on prac­ tice, on frequency of occurence, on use in everyday life, and for the rest as unorganized as conversation is. The subject matter is not organized, from a linguistic point of view. In one and the same lesson a diversity of gram­ matical problems may be presented, whereas related problems are kept separate. With these textbooks and recorded drills we enter a language laboratory. No wonder that the pros and cons of a language lab are still subject to extensive discussion. Extreme organization is exactly the basic requirement for programming the devices of the new, audio-lingual technology. What we need, to obtain quality instruction, is a system to go along with the hardware, a new technology in the field of foreign language teach­ ing based on the application of audio­ lingual equipment, programmed learn­ ing and modern linguistics. Programmed learning is a method applying self-instructional devices which provide the learner with a se­ quence of problems that require some action on the part of the student at every step of the program, and which take him from a low to a high level of proficiency in a given subject matter; the self-instructional device must also provide immediate confirmation about page|11 the correctness of the learner’s effort. We program computers by storing a set of instructions. The machine then performs the miracle: an output which goes far beyond the input. In the lan­ guage laboratory there is also an in­ put. However, the output is no more than a distribution of the input over, for example, 25 booths. If the input is a song, then the result is no more than the same song heard in 25 booths. The term ‘programmed learning’ can hardly be applied. It is different when stu­ dents are exposed to carefully pre­ pared drills, put on tape, adapted to the level of grammar covered. But thinking about the term ‘programmed learning' and about mechanization in general, one comes to the conclusion, that in language teaching we stand only at the beginning of a rapidly ex­ panding process. Mechanization can only be applied effectively and suc­ cessfully where we deal with organized systems. Modern linguistics states that a lan­ guage is a systematic structure. And a grammar of a language is supposed to describe this systematic structure. Al­ though the linguist has increasingly concerned himself with semantics on a scientific basis, his major concern is the grammar of a language. In lan­ guage teaching the area of the living language is usually reserved for the traditional language teacher. When linguistics as such is not a part of the curriculum, the linguist will usually teach one or more languages on an elementary basis depending on his specialization within the field. The encounter between the tradi­ tional language teacher and the lin­ guist is often a difficult one. The for­ mer is a specialist in the field of liter­ ature, the latter is not. The latter is a specialist in linguistics, the former is not, but he has been teaching gram­ mar for years. And practice very often seems to be more important than the­ ory. It is true that using a second lan­ guage requires more than knowing the structure of that language. But it is true, too, that if we swear by habit for habit’s sake we may acquire quite a few bad habits once we are left on our own, because we have forgotten how to behave. The linguist covers only part of the area of language instruction but he covers exactly that part of the lan­ guage that presents itself as an or­ ganized system and that, therefore, lends itself to ‘mechanization’. Thus a language laboratory, used as a self-in­ structional device, belongs first of all in the domain of the linguist. It is my opinion that proper use of the language lab will reduce all dis­ advantages and problems to a mini­ mum and will bring out the enormous advantages it has to offer. The “immobility” of the tape is no longer a disadvantage, since the tape is primarily used for only that part of the language which is immobile, inso­ far as the grammar of a language can be called immobile. I am working on a method which is a rigorous program requiring 45 minutes a week of full concentration. It cannot be considered merely an aid to language instruction; it is the backbone of the instruction it­ self. It deals only with grammar; only grammar will be applied and tested following strictly the grammatical out­ line. Whether a sentence is used in conversation, whether it has or will ever be used at all, is a matter of in­ difference as far as the method itself is concerned. If a student’s creativity leads to a sentence like this: “The table crossed the meadow when the light was blue.” I will be fully satis­ fied — and have fun — because the sentence is grammatically perfect. Be­ cause the method deals only with grammar and not with semantics, it is not hindered by the many idiomaticexpressions nor by the large variety of contextual differences, and can pro­ ceed rapidly. A language tape may then require full concentration since the student is, with all his senses, actively engaged with the subject matter; but there will be no need for an additional hour (aside from the question of whether or not expanded language instruction would be desirable any way, with or without lab, because of a re-evaluation of the importance of language learn­ ing). Furthermore, language learning will become much more attractive be­ cause it will make demands on our minds rather than on our memories while on the other hand more time will be available for literature. After the one hour in the language lab, two hours are left for reading and for other activities in the classroom or in the laboratory as mentioned in the beginning. In the advanced classes these two hours will primarily be de­ voted to literature which can be dis­ cussed in the foreign language. It is during these two hours that the stu­ dent will see the rigid outline learned in the lab come to life; he will learn idiomatic expressions and differences of meaning due to context; in other words, he will experience the living language. Here, too. he will no longer primarily learn by heart, but practice what he has learned. Instead of learn­ ing conversation sentences, soon for­ gotten because of lack of practice, he will read literature, the contents of which will not easily be forgotten. The grammatical knowledge which one has achieved in the language lab and which one has seen applied in liter­ ature guarantees a longer-lasting knowledge of the foreign language than the traditional method. So this approach will allow us to be concerned with the role language learning is as­ suming in international competition and, at the same time, to open up an inner world for a deep and lasting personal enrichment. �ANNUAL SENIOR PICNIC Rolling farmlands, warming sunshine, cool­ ing breezes, and the aroma of tantalizing grilled food were brought together on June 8, almost altogether pre-arranged, as it were, at the Beaumont, Pennsylvania farm of Dr. and Mrs. Farley, the scene of the an­ nual picnic, this year honoring the Class of 1963. Dr. Farley, who is convalesing from a re­ cent illness, greeted many of the seniors earlier in the afternoon. Seniors and friends joined with members of the College Administration to enjoy an ideal summer day of relaxation and fellowship. Chief chefs Dean George Ralston and Direc­ tor of Admissions John Whitby managed ca­ pably to satisfy the appetites of all present with tasty food straight from the grill of the open fireplace. Softball, volleyball, quoits, and badminton kept most of the seniors busy throughout the afternoon. Others preferred either to relax in the sunshine or to enjoy the cooling shade of nearby trees. - Graduation activities for the Class of 1963 were ushered in with the Senior Class Din­ ner in the Hotel Sterling’s Crystal Ballroom. Seniors and guests gathered with members of the faculty and administration for the traditional program. Dr. Daniel Detwiler was the principal speaker and conveyed to the Class a special message from Dr. Farley. This year’s affair was the first which Dr. Farley has missed in his many years as President of the College.

Some day (and I re­ gret to predict it) there will be a moniter station, with a dean in charge, in every college in the land: a light will flash, and Freshman X will be credited with his awakening. “Three years, Mr. Y, and I must inform you that as yet your light has not come on.” But enough of that! To be young and in college, if only the young and in college knew it, is looking up at the night sky, mobile under scattered clouds, when no two stars are of one constellation. Now and then the heav­ ens will open wide; but oftener not. Consider Mr. Frost’s poem, “Lost in Heaven,” from which I draw my star­ talk: Let’s let my heavenly lostness overwhelm me. Q. That seems an elaborate metaphor for one who frequently quotes Ellis, what? “Be clear, be clear, be not too clear.” In the popular image, of course, there is no room for footnotes like the one that Christopher Morley’s father, Professor of Mathematics at the Hop­ kins, appended to a tough examination paper he had set. “If an exact answer does not suggest itself, an inspired guess will not be without value.” To the im­ age makers, college is . . . audience. As to inventors: it is unlikely in the future that the great ones will not be trained in universities or tech­ nical institutes. It is quite a day’s journey to the frontier of science. Q. You will grant that in spite of in­ flation, internecine war over who gets whom among the teaching giants, and the magnified problem of balance be­ tween the humanities and the sciences— our colleges survive as islands of light across the nation. The young ones strug­ gle toward accreditation; the old ones to keep their place, or better the peck order in achievement and endowment. At the same time they are beginning to function as the cultural centers of their communities and sometimes (as in particular with certain state univer­ sities) of their states. They are the new patrons of the arts — and of the sciences, too; on the air and on the screen and on the public platform. Fac­ ulty, students, facilities — all are var­ iously involved. A. But still the tragic failure of our colleges involves the average alumnus— and I am using the masculine by gram­ matical convention. He is like a threestage rocket: the first takes him up through the twelve grades into college, the second takes him through college and even through graduate school; but the third one frequently fails to ignite, or flames out before he goes into orbit. “All the little time I have been away from painting (wrote Edward Lear in 1859, when he was 47) goes in Greek .... I am almost thanking God that I was never educated, for it seems to me that 999 of those who are so, expen­ sively and laboriously, have lost all be­ fore they arrive at my age — and re­ main like Swift’s Stulbruggs — cut and dry for life, making no use of their earlier-gained treasures: whereas, I seem to be on the threshold of know­ ledge.” A. Colleges, if we adhere to the pre­ fab image of so many young matricu­ lants, would feed the dream direct to the computers. But this will never be, make no mistake; for somewhere on some campus there is always coming up an Emerson, Webster, Brandeis, Millikan, Jane Addams, Thurber, Gather, Cush­ ing, Carson, Salk, De Voto, or Mar­ quand who find exactly what they need, flourish often in creative loneliness or at variance with tradition. In the re­ newal of achievement, they will mend the leaks in the true legend of what a Q. Well .... college is. And please to note here that the legend is always better than the A.

Music I except because the stereo mind was likely developed independent of the college years; and this is the one art truly catholic in our time. As for the drama, I cannot even guess. It is surely strong in the colleges, and the stock companies (freshly stocked) are witness to that strength. I am minded, rather, of Dorothy Parker’s account of a Benchley-Ross exchange in the New Yorker office. “On one of Mr. Benchley’s manuscripts Ross wrote in the margin opposite ‘Andromache,’ ‘Who he?’ Mr. Benchley wrote back, ‘You keep out of this.”' Perhaps I should have kept out of this dialogue. Q. Not at all. Someone may shift Mr. Benchley’s “Who he?” to plain “Who? Me?” Someone who thinks that the ethos of college is still with him; who is rusting on his undergraduate laurels for whatever they were worth; who has neither found the time nor taken the trouble to form an exemplary taste for anything — in anything. You remember what a character in H. M. Pulham, Esquire said? “On leaving college (twenty-five years ago) I started Gib­ bon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Nicolay and Hay’s Lincoln. I am still working on them in my spare time.” Amusing, yes; but sadder than amusing — and pathetic in its sadness. A. The prevailing notion is that one passes through college on the way up— toward success, achievement, or some satisfying approximation. Under this assumption, the college appears as a point — a little gold star — on the curve: about twenty-one years out on the X (horizontal) axis. Interpretation? Enter, exit the college. Agreed? No, that is wrong. It is, in truth, the basic tragedy. Ideally the college remains a function of the curve and not a point upon it — a determining factor of its ultimate character or direction. For example: if against the X life-span you plot the vertical Y as the sum of special know­ ledge — what the individual knows in detail respecting many subjects — the peak of the curve may well remain at twenty-one, since after graduation most diversified special knowledge tends page 1G largely to decrease. An honors student _ a good student, for that matter—may never know again so much in several fields as he does in the final week of senior examinations. On the other hand, remembering Whitehead’s disclaimer anent the value of “scraps of informa­ tion,” Y may (and should) assume a much nobler role — intellectual power, for one. Granting that, then, any mo­ ment on the curve will reflect the in­ creasing functional share of the college in the value of the individual to him­ self and to society. For want of a better name, let’s call that function “the ha­ bitual vision of greatness.” Q. Since many have a natural dis­ taste for graphs (graphobia), why not choose the river symbol? The curve suggests a river. A. Bear in mind that the curve (ideally) runs up, the river down. But fortunately the river runs toward bigger and even better things — the fertile val­ ley and the sea, for instance. You may flow with it or let it float things past you, as you wish. Poets frequently stand close to fishermen in thought. “Poets,” says Archibald MacLeish, “are always wading and seining at the edge of the slow flux of language for something they can fish out and put to their own uses.” Let me argue, then, that if we think of the college as a river in the slow flux of being, we shall always find something to fish out of it. Erstwhile students of such famous teachers as Churchill of Amherst, Winch of Wesleyan, John McCook of Trinity, Woodberry of Columbia, Strunk of Cornell, David Lambuth of Dartmouth, Bliss Perry and Copey of Harvard have done such fishing and such finding. To this day I remember my high school I ii § § § I Dane|17 t ra?2lerr°f Perrnan — rich in the culture of the Jewish race - shaking her finger at us, saymg: “never let a day go by without looking on three beautiful things. Trying not to fail her in life meant trying not to fail myself. Q. Are you suggesting that it is only between the best teachers and the most responsive students that this flux of being can be perpetuated? A. Not at all. The great critic, George Saintsbury, said of Oxford: “For those who really wish to drink deep of the spring — they are never likely to crowd even a few Colleges — let there be every opportunity, let them indeed be freed from certain disabilities which modem reforms have put on them. But exclude not from the beneficient splash and spray of the fountain those who are not prepared to drink very deep, and let them play pleasantly by its waters.” Almost a hundred years ago, Andrew Preston Peabody, Acting President of Harvard, plead publicly for all those of “blameless moral character” who stood scholastically at the bottom of their class. “The ninetieth scholar in a class of a hundred has an appreciable rank,” he said, “which he will endeavor at least to maintain, if possible to im­ prove. But if the ten below him be dis­ missed or degraded, so that he finds himself at the foot of his class, the de­ pressing influence of this position will almost inevitably check his industry and quench his ambition.” Today, under the pressure of increasing competition, some reasonably good minds will func­ tion somewhere near the foot of every class.

Perhaps it is largely the city which stands between the college and the disciples. Within its arcane babel it is hard to distinguish echoes from that other world. And with days pres­ sing in and time running out — in the city, in traffic, in confusion — doubly hard to remember that the physicist has room for Andrew Wyeth, the classicist for Tarka the Otter, the Bauhaus archi­ tect for Walden, the musicologist for Freya Stark, the masters of Univac for the sight of polygonella articulata burn­ ing in the autumn wind by sandy edges of expressways into Maine, the floun­ dering economist for spotting Indian watermarks in southernmost Wyoming.

Man on his plundered planet, in his silent spring, must come to terms with nature long before his packaged plankton su­ persedes the boxtop cereal. The colleges, backwater stations as they once were called, are all we have here on the last frontier. Alumni who support them ask and take too little in return. It is their own fault, to be sure. As Samuel Butler could lament that there was (and is) no Professor of Wit at Oxford or Cam­ bridge, so one may deplore — why not? — the lack in all our colleges and uni­ versities of an Emerson Chair of the Spirit. You may take that small sug­ gestion indirectly from Matthew Ar­ nold. And a Henry Thoreau Chair of Self-Sufficiency. “It is time that villages were universities,” said Henry. The time is coming when they will be. Better than that: when man will be a college to himself, not least of all lest “things grown common lose their dear delight.” I | 3n jfHetnoriam DR. VINCENT C.

Michelini Art Linkletter, interviewing a ten-year-old on television, asked what his first act would be if he were elected President of the United States. The youngster gazed at him in stunned horror for a split second, then replied, “Have the voters’ heads examined.” This was my first reaction to Gordon Roberts’ request to do an article for the “Alumnus” on the National Science Foundation. The scope of the activities of the Foundation made an acceptance of this request seem foolhardy. Before the final reports came back on his head, however, I had become intrigued with the idea of how to convey, through the “Alumnus,” some of the feelings engendered by my experiences here. I think it is extremely important for all Americans to understand what is happening in education today and how their tax dollars are influencing their and their childrens’ futures. The publicity accompanying various bills in Congress, and the resulting cries of catastrophe when they fail, frequently leave the impression that nothing is being done at the Federal level in education. I deplore the failure of passage of the better educational bills, but I think that an awareness of what is being done and what is being ac­ complished by government in this area will ultimately assist in passage of important legislation of significant benefit to education. The National Science Foundation is involved in many programs, ranging from support of a project to drill through the outer crust of the earth, to support for con­ struction of the largest and most precise optical and radio-telescopes ever built. To list even partially the research programs supported by NSF would take many pages. Everyone is generally aware of this function of the Foundation, but far too few are aware of the pro­ grams that are having a direct effect upon the subject­ matter content of elementary, high school, and college curricula. These are the areas of greatest significance and interest to alumni who are or will be parents directly concerned with their children’s education; and to alumni whn 3TP pncrucrpd in the fnonkinrr ___ who are engaged in the teaching profession. One of the major characteristics of modem life is the virtual “explosion of knowledge,” particularly in the sciences. The amount of new information now available exceeds the ability of the human mind in its present stage of development to organize and to adapt it for use. The corollary is that much information now current in societv is already obsolete. Both of these facts relate directly to the teaching of the sciences. The schools have a clear responsibility to contribute to the scientific-technological-economic develonment h.u the discharge of this responsibility deZ on lb viability of scientific information taught, the quality of | Editor's Note: Dr. Francis J.

They will return to Wilkes in August. teaching materials used and the patterns of thought engendered by the methods of teaching. University scientists and mathematicians, professional educators, and teachers of science and mathematics in the United States have joined forces to improve the teaching of their subjects in American schools. In 1950, the United States Government established the National Science Foundation, with adequate financial backing to foster and to support the work of large groups of specialists in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Math­ ematics. The administrative division of the Foundation that deals with all areas of education is the Division of Scientific Personnel and Education (SP&E). Within the Division of Scientific Personnel and Education is a sec­ tion called the Course Content Improvement Section. The activity of this section is the support of the groups described above who are involved in the development of new materials for use in teaching. These materials range from textbooks, to movie films, to laboratory equipment, and result from studies and programs by groups of scientists and mathematicians financed by NSF. There are many such Course Content Improvement programs but the most familiar and well-established are described here. In Physics the National Science Foundation established the Physical Science Study Committee (commonly called PSSC) consisting of ranking physicists and science educators in the United States. After several years of study and experimentation in over 200 secondary schools (at a cost of over $6,000,000; the PSSC published materials for a new course in Physics for secondary schools. The course is a complete unit consisting of a basic textbook, PHYSICS, a set of 24 supplementary readers in various aspects of physics, a set of laboratory manuals and simple, inexpensive laboratory kits (which can be largely duplicated by teachers from materials indigenous to any state or country), and a set of 30 teach­ ing films. In Chemistry comparable study groups were establish­ ed, bringing together outstanding chemists and teachers of chemistry. Two prominent groups, the CHEMS Study Committee (CHEMS) and the Chemical Bond Approach Committee (CBAC) developed full-scale courses in Chemistry for secondary schools. Each produced a basic text representing the fundamental elements of Chemistry from a separate scientific point of view, plus laboratory manuals, teacher’s guides, and sets of films to extend and to support the textual materials. These approaches to Chemistry have been tried out in more than 200 secon ary schools, with complete revisions of material year y year, based on the experience of teachers with hig1 school classes. In Biology three subordinate groups of the American Institute of Biological Sciences were formed within the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study committee (BS CS). The three groups, again comprised of the nation’s foremost biologists and science educators, agreed on basic values to be taught in Biology, but chose to provide different approaches to the teaching of the material. The so-called “Green Version” (“Green” referring to binding color for quick identification) focuses attention on the ecological and behavioral aspects of Biology; the “Yellow Version" emphasizes the orderly presentation of biological data from the cell through genetics and evolution; the “Blue Version" approaches the subject in terms of recent exciting advances in physiological and biochemical-evolu­ tion research. As in the fields of Physics and Chemistry, basic texts (Green, Yellow, Blue Versions) were produced and tried out extensively in schools. They are reinforced by laboratory manuals, teachers’ guides, supplementary readers, and teaching films. In Mathematics the collaboration among mathemati­ cians, educators, and teachers has been particularly active. The University of Maryland Mathematics Project, under­ written by the Carnegie Corporation, The University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics, sponsored by the University, and the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG) developed by the National Science Foundation have all been productive. The SMSG has prepared a series of textbooks which take account of other areas of know­ ledge and at the same time reflect recent advances, in mathematics itself: First Course in Algebra, Geometry, Intermediate Mathematics, Elementary Functions, Intro­ ductory to Matrix Algebra. The area of Foundation activity that I work in is the Institutes Section of the Division of Scientific Personnel and Education (SP&E). The Institutes Section budget for 1963 is approximately $42,000,000. This money is spent in support of Institutes for teachers at all levels with the primary objective of the program being to im­ prove competence in the subject matter of the sciences. A list of the variety of Institute programs is impressive. They include, in addition to the usual biology, physics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics, programs in anthropology, psychology, philosophy, economics, geog­ raphy and other areas of the social sciences with a scientific base. Some Institutes relate to the Course Content Improvement programs in that they provide opportunities to acquaint teachers with these new materials; the primary concern being the improvement of their subject-matter competence so that these teachers will gain the confidence and scientific insight necessary to use these programs effectively. Colleges and Universities are now beginning to incorporate the new programs into their own undergraduate teacher training curricula, and the utilization of these new course content materials is now having an increasing impact on education in the sciences at the elementary and secondary levels. The particular program in which I am involved is the College and Elementary Program of the Institutes Sec­ tion. All proposals from Colleges and Universities to con­ duct Institutes for college teachers, Conferences for col­ lege teachers, or Institutes for elementary teachers are reviewed by the staff in this program. About 35% of the proposals received are recommended for approval, the primary limitation on the number of Institutes recom­ mended being the funds available for support in the particular program. A second area of activity for which I am responsible is paijii I i [UIIJI! | 3 the placement of foreign participants in Summ tutes.

About 35% of the proposals received are recommended for approval, the primary limitation on the number of Institutes recom­ mended being the funds available for support in the particular program. A second area of activity for which I am responsible is paqi! 12 paqi! the placement of foreign participants in Summer Insti­ tutes. The State Department, through the Agency for International Development, finances a limited number of foreign teachers for attendance in some of these Insti­ tute programs. Not only the foreign participant profits from the educational benefits, but the American partici­ pants profit from the presence of people with similar teaching responsibilities but from cultures quite un­ familiar to the average American teacher. In this period of history, added insight into some of the problems of the emerging and developing nations of the world is a real asset to our people. There are many cooperating agencies which aid in screening applicants for the avail­ able positions in these Institutes. The Pan American Union, (PAU), Organization of American States (OAS), the Asia Foundation, Africa Foundation, and others, screen applications from the countries in their area of interest and forward them to the Foundation. Place­ ment of these individuals in an Institute suited to their abilities and interests then becomes my job. It is ex­ tremely interesting to deal with these agencies; one can­ not help but develop a picture of the educational systems of the countries involved in the program. I have no doubt that we will see a considerable ex­ pansion of activity in International education with the Foundation playing a major role in this area. The re­ wards in terms of a greater understanding of America and our culture could very well be a turning point in the cold war. We simply cannot afford to ignore the educa­ tional problems of developing nations, and an intelligent cooperation with these countries could well determine the future course of their economic and political de­ velopment. Your role as college graduates, parents, teachers, (in any or all combinations), in the ultimate success of these educational activities, is an awareness of your responsi­ bility for maintaining an interest in the Federal Govern­ ment’s activity in the area of education. Your interest may stem from your role as a taxpayer or, preferably, from the intellectual base of an awareness of the im­ portance of effective education for our national survival. More personally, our survival, and our children’s in a world in which the standard of living for all mankind will continue to rise, not deteriorate, is a goal we must all seek. Interest may be expressed at many levels — every one of them important—by a variety of actions ranging from letters to Congressmen, Senators, etc., urging support of specific measures that constructively approach problems in education (and here your informed opinion is far more important than a pressure-group's, sheep-like re­ sponse) ; to local agitation for responsible school board officials and educated informed support for local school curriculum improvement. Concerned and informed par­ ents, and teachers who express themselves effectively, will see change and improvement. Apathy in any local educational system will very rapidly signal deterioration of the entire community situation. America cannot af­ ford this loss of its potential brainpower. The currents of human activity have brought civilization from a level with the premium on manpower to the higher levels of culture where the premium is on brainpower. The suc­ cessful utilization of natural resources was the key to past human development; the key to the future will be whether we are equally successful in the utilization of our human resources and the prime element in this fight is education, and the arena, our schools. �£ 5 THE INTELLECTUAL CRISIS 0 “OLE MISS.” by Dr. Hugo V. Mailey When the initial effort took place to enroll the first Negro, James Meredith, at the University of Mississippi, most people wrongly assessed the massive and bitter resistance that would confront him. This incorrect assessment led to the assumption that this deep Southern state and its Governor would react no differently than the states of Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana, and other states which have yielded to the growing conviction that segregation must be eliminated in American De­ mocracy. Here, as in no other Southern state, the extremists and the apostles of last-ditch resistance seized control immediately following the Supreme Court decision. They never re­ linquished this control. It was here that the Citizens Councils were born, only months after the 1954 ruling. In less than a year they had enough political and psycholog­ ical control to make open opposition to their doctrines political suicide. By the time Governor Barnett was elected in 1959 as their unabashed front man, they had a stranglehold on the state. There are very few white liberals in Mississippi. There are fewer outright integrationists. That vocal handful who, for want of a better term, are labeled moderates were isolated by the Council almost from the beginning. Missis­ sippi is a state of small towns and cities, with its capital, Jackson, a city of 150,000 people — three times the size of the next largest community. Thus, there was no At­ lanta, nor New Orleans, nor Dallas, nor Nashville in which dissident whites could find any sizeable group of sympathizers. Economic pressure was an efficient, if un­ spectacular, tool of the Council, and its unceasing propa­ ganda effort was more than sufficient to counter the voices of reason. With a few notable exceptions, Mississippi by 1959 had the appearance of monolithic solidarity. Two years ago “The College Characteristic Index,” a questionnaire, was administered to eighty colleges and universities throughout the country, including “Ole Miss ” The results of this inquiry present answers to questions that arise about the behavior of members of the student body at the University of Mississippi. Author of this article. "The Intellectual Crisis at Ole Miss " Dr. Hugo V. Mailey is Chairman of the Political Science Department and Director of the Institute nt M ■ , Gouernment at Wilhes College. The major bar to even partial acceptance of James Me redith is the absence of any tradition of dissent on the campus or any rallying point of liberal thought. The University’s students place a high value on possessions status, and the material benefits of a higher education' To some extent “Ole Miss/’ is seen as a club. Things are done together instead of privately. This makes Meredith's task more difficult. In the segment of the Index measuring propriety, consideration, and caution, the University scored low, despite what might be considered a “surface mannerliness.” Although Mississippi students rank above the national average in the results of college entrance tests, the Index re­ vealed that they had little interest in either scholarly pursuits or academic discipline once they arrived on cam­ pus. Nor does the University demand this of them. The students also scored low in the element of the Index dealing with aesthetic sensitivity, idealism, involvement in the world's problems, and self-analysis. The University has no active debating society, and no literary or humorous publications that might provide a vehicle for thoughtful or satirical writings on, among other topics, the racial issue. The student newspaper, which is issued four times weekly, compares unfavorably with those of colleges of smaller size. In recent years its editors have been subject to harassment by the State Legislature for asserted mani­ festation of liberal views. The campus bookstore, one of several enterprises run as a concession for the benefit of the Athletic Association, limits itself to required texts at list price. A separate shop in an out-of-the-way spot on the second floor of the Student Union Building offers a small selection of paper­ backs. No magazine of even average quality is available on the campus, and few are sold in Oxford. In fact, the cultural life of the City is as barren as that of the University ap­ pears to be. Thus, the School remains as it has been, one for the middle and upper classes, for posting “gentlemen's C's,” making “contacts” and finding a suitable wife or husband. One of the more thought-provoking aspects of the news that came out of Oxford before and during James Me­ redith’s registration at the University of Mississippi was the reported attitude of the faculty towards the crisis on its campus. According to at least two widely reprinted newspaper stories written shortly after Meredith’s regis­ tration, not one faculty member at the University of Mississippi spoke out endorsing integration or advocating compliance with the Federal Court order to admit Me­ redith either before or during the violence that accom­ panied his registration. The local chapter of the Ameri­ can Association of University Professors did issue a belated statement defending the conduct of U. S. Marshals in their execution of orders. That an entire 200-man faculty of a respected State Uni­ versity should have found it wise, expedient, or necessary to maintain silence in a situation intimately and violently affecting its own campus, its own students, and the whole structure of constitutional government in its state, is bot curious and disturbing. It is impossible to believe tha all of these men, educated in a variety of disciplines, cou have been indifferent to the struggle going on in front o their office doors. One wonders how the students interpret this faculty silence. . , I have often wondered what is being taught in the socia sciences. Just what does the Political Science Depart­ ment at the University of Mississippi teach in such coul?p as Constitutional Law, American Government, and o related courses? pagJ4 S'-' MOt SORDONI 1887-1963 4 H 4 -^ At the age of 76, death claimed former Senator Andrew J.

In recent years its editors have been subject to harassment by the State Legislature for asserted mani­ festation of liberal views. The campus bookstore, one of several enterprises run as a concession for the benefit of the Athletic Association limits itself to required texts at list price. A separate shop in an out-of-the-way spot on the second floor of the Student Union Building offers a small selection of paper­ backs. No magazine of even average quality is available on the campus, and few are sold in Oxford. In fact, the cultural life of the City is as barren as that of the University ap­ pears to be. Thus, the School remains as it has been, one for the middle and upper classes, for posting “gentlemen's C’s,” making “contacts” and finding a suitable wife or husband. One of the more thought-provoking aspects of the news that came out of Oxford before and during James Me­ redith’s registration at the University of Mississippi was the reported attitude of the faculty towards the crisis on its campus. According to at least two widely reprinted newspaper stories written shortly after Meredith’s regis­ tration, not one faculty member at the University of Mississippi spoke out endorsing integration or advocating compliance with the Federal Court order to admit Me­ redith either before or during the violence that accom­ panied his registration. The local chapter of the Amer* can Association of University Professors did issue a bela e statement defending the conduct of U. S. Marshals in their execution of orders. T ■ That an entire 200-man faculty of a respected State n* versify should have found it wise, expedient, or necess to maintain silence in a situation intimately and vio e affecting its own campus, its own students, and the w structure of constitutional government in its state, is curious and disturbing. It is impossible to b>elieve all of these men, educated in a variety of disciplines, have been indifferent to the struggle going on in r their office doors.

It LT of course, be contended that the existence of a thread’ the United States must be proved in each particular ca ° The response to such contentions has been that the c pliance with the provisions of the Monroe Doctrine aga??; non-American penetration into the Western Hemisphere is of itself the safeguard which must be sustained Yield ing to a transfer of territory or to the installation of ho tile European system of government in the America^ would weaken the value of that safeguard. The Monroe Doctrine Preserved Peace in Western Hemisphere for 139 Years by Dr. Bronis J. Kasins Associate Professor of International Law, Wilkes College The Monroe Doctrine is a political device designed by the United States to check penetration of foreign non-American powers into the Western Hemisphere. From the very beginning, the United States desired to end European colonial or other political rule in the Western Hemisphere and thus assure that this country would not in the future have to become involved in any form of European “power politics’’ in the Americas. Such “power politics,” if transferred to this hemisphere, would en­ danger the United States’ security and would eventually involve her in wars. Out of this farsighted policy of the United States was born the Monroe Doctrine. President Monroe and the Cabinet agreed to enunciate the policy in the President’s message to Congress on December 2, 1823. The policy was subsequently to be known as the MONROE DOCTRINE. In the first part of the document, President Monroe de­ clared the principle of non-colonization of the Americas in the following terms: “. . . the American Continents, . . . are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any Eu­ ropean powers . . . ”. Later in the message Monroe turned specifically to Latin American affairs: “• ... (we) declare that we should consider any attempt on their (European powers) part to extend their systems to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety." Monroe’s message was welcomed by the nation with great enthusiasm, but the reactionary governments of autocratic Europe called it “impudent.” In spite of their negative reactions, the powers of the Holy Alliance never issued a formal protest against the Monroe Doctrine or tried to de­ clare it null and void.

Some even resent the restriction upon their right of voluntary transfer of territory or bases to a non­ American power. This attitude fails, however, to under­ stand and interpret properly United States interference The Monroe Doctrine is not directed against American states as such, but against non-American powers seeking territories or bases in the Americas and creating a danger of using them as military outposts against the United States, as well as against the entire hemisphere. Thus, the objection against the United States for attempting to place restraints upon the independence of Latin American countries is only a theoretical one, missing the basic point that, on the contrary, the purpose of the Monroe Doctrine is to safeguard the independence of South America, even from those who might be willing to give it away. In considering the Monroe Doctrine in terms of inter­ national law, the most significant factor is that this policy has been very successful, and has led to official acknow­ ledgement of it by many nations. The refusal of non-American states to challenge by force the stand of the United States has been very impressive. The recent withdrawal of the Soviet military bases from Cuba is the best example of it. Moreover, there has been no significant disapproval by non-American powers, whenever the United States has proposed to embody the principles of these safeguards in international treaties. Thus the Monroe Doctrine has been made a part of The Hague Conventions, the Covenant of the League of Nations, and, as a measure of self-defense, it was allowed and sanctioned by the Briand-Kellog Pact and the Charter of the United Nations. On the basis of the past record, we may reaffirm that no state in the world remains today in a position to contend that the Monroe Doctrine is contrary to international law. Presidents’ Support The importance of the Monroe Doctrine is also derived from the continuous and deliberate approval of it it by by all all the the Presidents Presidents of the ions, and by the American Pe°P.e’ United States, by all administrations, regardless of party divisions.

At least in the field of music, the two contesting nations seemed to under­ stand one another. Great Enthusiasm I have never experienced such outbursts of enthusiasm as those shown the Robert Shaw Chorale. We usually had to give from six to eight encores and before the audiences would go home, the hall lights had literally to be turned off. Interestingly enough, the work that re­ ceived the most applause and had to be scheduled for extra performances in Moscow was the Bach B Minor Mass. It was considered quite significant that the Chorale was given permission to perform so many works of religious origin. As one Russian high official said, “We Russians do understand things of the spirit.” But the visual impression seemed to point in another direction. Over and over again we saw magnificent old churches boarded up and going into a state of decay. If we asked our guide why this should be so, we would hear that there are more important things to be built and fixed up than churches, such as hospitals and apartment houses. Everywhere we went we were given an official guided tour, but were also always free to travel alone. In fact, this was the best way to meet average Russian citizens. I often had the experience of someone walking blocks out of his way to show me the correct entrance to a museum or a subway station. {Note: Mrs. Friedmann teas a member of the orchestra ac­ companying the Robert Shaw Chorale on its tour of Yugo­ slavia and Russia.

(Note: Mrs. Fricdm ann was a memb iber of the orchestra <accompanying the Robert Shaw Choralt Jo on its tour of Yui tgoslauia and Russia.

We took the Metro to reach Red Square, for shopping excursions at the State Department Store, GUM, and to the opera at the beautiful Bolshoi Theater. In this way, I also went to visit the famous Moscow Conservatory of Music. The name, Robert Shaw, opened all the doors and I became the honored guest of several classes, especially the oboe class which was more than eager to exchange thoughts with me. They felt completely shut off from the outside world. Even music printed in France is not available to them, let alone the newest trends in playing and develop­ ment of instruments. The oboes they play are completely antiquated, a condition they realize but are powerless to correct. After all, oboists do not enter famous inter­ national competitions (as do the violinists who always have the best of instruments). Other than this informal contact, there never seemed to be after-concert parties or receptions during which con­ versation could have been made. This was quite the op­ posite from our experience in Yugoslavia, where within one week we had four informal get-togethers. Yet, we were treated royally. The food was the best that could be offered to us. Only after several weeks did we begin to miss fresh fruit and vegetables. Once were we offered a nice Jonathan apple at an agricultural fair, the only normal-sized one I saw in the whole six weeks. In terms of general shopping, there was very little of tourist interest. What a difference again from Yugoslavia where the wood carving, copper work, weaving and all other handicrafts are vigorously engaged in. One must, however, mention the very reasonable price of books in the Soviet Union. Our musicians were very tempted by the many beautiful art books available, most of them East German, Czech or Hungarian publications. We accumu­ lated pounds of overweight after bookstore expeditions in almost every city. Everywhere we went the local audiences were ex­ ceptionally anxious to show their friendliness. People would wait indefinitely to shake our hands after the con­ cert, as if meaning to show their good intentions. When one sees the extent of ravages of the last war, one begins to understand why the desire for peace is really strong. It is unfortunate that so many misconceptions exist. A little old lady asked me almost pleadingly: “Why does America want war?” They are cut off from all free ex­ change of news. It was impossible to procure a New York Times or Herald Tribune. The only foreign newspapers were the London Daily Worker and other French or East German Communist publications. No wonder American magazines of any date are at a premium. Two young boys followed me halfway through Moscow for an old copy of Newsweek. One thing I regretted not having with me were jazz records to give away. We were asked for them time and time again. The Russian youth have an enormous interest in American jazz music. After several weeks in Russia, one becomes more or less accustomed to the rather somber tone of life in general. Only after returning home does one suddenly realize the tremendous difference that does exist between Russia and the West, and yet it is a difference that only man has made and could change as, spiritually and artistically, we are all on the same plane with a strong desire for peace and friendship. �Molhr Heads Development a position of power equaled by few pations in our society.

Their authors and teachers have been cen~ sured, ostracized, exiled, martyred, and crucified ugg usually because the ideas clashed with an accepted set of beliefs or prejudices or with the interests of a ruler or privileged class. Are we wiser and more receptive to ideas today? Even in the Western world, although methods of pun­ ishment have been refined, the propagator of a new idea may find himself risking his social status, his politi­ cal acceptability, his job, and hence his very livelihood. �For the teacher: special risks, special rights |k IORMALLY, in our society, we are wary of per|\ I sons whose positions give them an opporI V tunity to exert unusual power and influence. But we grant the college teacher a degree of freedom far greater than most of the rest of us enjoy. Our reasoning comes from a basic fact about our civilization: Its vitality flows from, and is sustained by, ideas. Ideas in science, ideas in medicine, ideas in poli­ tics. Ideas that sometimes rub people the wrong way. Ideas that at times seem pointless. Ideas that may alarm, when first broached. Ideas that may be so novel or revolutionary that some persons may propose that they be suppressed. Ideas—all sorts— that provide the sinews of our civilization. They will be disturbing. Often they will irritate. But the more freely they are produced—and the more rigorously they are tested—the more surely will our civilization stay alive. ■"^his is the theory. Applying it, man has deI veloped institutions for the specific purpose of ■ incubating, nourishing, evaluating, and spread­ ing ideas. They are our colleges and universities. As their function is unique, so is the responsibility with which we charge the man or woman who staffs them. We give the college teacher the professional duty of pursuing knowledge—and of conveying it to oth­ ers—with complete honesty and open-mindedness. We tell him to find errors in what we now know. We tell him to plug the gaps in it. We tell him to add new material to it. We tell him to do these things without fear of the consequences and without favor to any interest save the pursuit of truth. We know—and he knows—that to meet this re­ sponsibility may entail risk for the college teacher. The knowledge that he develops and then teaches to others will frequently produce ground-shaking re­ sults. It will lead at times to weapons that at the press of a button can erase human lives. Conversely, it will lead at other times to medical miracles that will save human lives. It may unsettle theology, as such coercion to succeed here, the very sinews of our civilization would be weakened, leaving us without strength. a n be recognize these facts. So we have de\f\f veloped special safeguards for ideas, by V V developing special safeguards for him who fosters ideas: the college teacher. We have developed these safeguards in the calm (and civilized) realization that they are safeguards against our own impetuousness in times of stress. They are a declaration of our willingness to risk the consequences of the scholar’s quest for truth. They are, in short, an expression of our belief that we should seek the truth because the truth, in time, shall make us free. Whal fthe teacher’s special! rights consist of did Darwinian biology in the late 1800’s, and as did countless other discoveries in earlier centuries. Con­ versely, it may confirm or strengthen the elements of one’s faith. It will produce intensely personal results: the loss of a job to automation or, con­ versely, the creation of a job in a new industry. Dealing in ideas, the teacher may be subjected to strong, and at times bitter, criticism. It may come from unexpected quarters: even the man or woman who is well aware that free research and education are essential to the common good may become understandably upset when free research and edu­ cation affect his own livelihood, his own customs, his own beliefs. And, under stress, the critics may attempt to coerce the teacher. The twentieth century has its own versions of past centuries’ persecutions: social ostracism for the scholar, the withdrawal of finan­ cial support, the threat of political sanctions, an attempt to deprive the teacher of his job. Wherever coercion has been widely applied in Nazi Germany, in the Soviet Union—the develop­ ment of ideas has been seriously curtailed. Were i-jl=|HE special freedom that we grant to a college teacher goes beyond anything guaran11 teed by law or constitution. As a citizen like the rest of us, he has the right to speak critically or unpopularly without fear of governmental reprisal or restraint. As a teacher enjoying a special freedom, however, he has the right to speak without restraint not only from government but from almost any other source, including his own employer. Thus—although he draws his salary from a col­ lege or university, holds his title in a college or university, and does his work at a college or uni­ versity—he has an independence from his employer which in most other occupations would be denied to him. Here are some of the rights he enjoys: ► He may, if his honest thinking dictates, expound views that clash with those held by the vast ma­ jority of his fellow countrymen. He will not be restrained from doing so. ► He may, if his honest thinking dictates, pub­ licly challenge the findings of his closest colleagues, even if they outrank him. He will not be restrained from doing so. ► He may, if his honest thinking dictates, make statements that oppose the views of the president of his college, or of a prominent trustee, or of a generous benefactor, or of the leaders of the state legislature. No matter how much pain he may bring to such persons, or to the college administrators entrusted with maintaining good relations with them, he will not be restrained from doing so. Such freedom is not written into law. It exists on the college campus because (1) the teacher claims and enforces it and (2) the public, although wincing on occasion, grants the validity of the teacher’s claim. I * /e grant the teacher this special freedom \f\f for our own benefit. v * Although “orthodox” critics of educa­ tion frequently protest, there is a strong experi­ mental emphasis in college teaching in this country. This emphasis owes its existence to several in­ fluences, including the utilitarian nature of our society; it is one of the ways in which our institu- tin: �tions of higher education differ from many in Europe. Hence we often measure the effectiveness of our colleges and universities by a pragmatic yardstick: Does our society derive a practical benefit from their practices? The teacher’s special freedom meets this test. The unfettered mind, searching for truth in science, in philosophy, in social sciences, in engineering, in professional areas—and then teaching the findings to millions—has produced impressive practical re­ sults, whether or not these were the original ob­ jectives of its search: The technology that produced instruments of victory in World War II. The sciences that have produced, in a matter of decades, incredible gains in man’s struggle against disease. The science and engineering that have taken us across the threshold of outer space. The dazzling progress in agricultural productivity. The damping, to an unprecedented degree, of wild fluctuations in the business cycle. The appearance and application of a new architec­ ture. The development of a “scientific approach” in the management of business and of labor unions. The ever-increasing maturity and power of our historians, literary critics, and poets. The gradua­ tion of hundreds of thousands of college-trained men and women with the wit and skill to learn and broaden and apply these things. W ould similar results have been possible without campus freedom? In moments of national panic (as when the Russians appear to be outdistancing us in the space race), there are voices that suggest that less freedom and more centralized direction of our educational and research resources would be more “efficient.” Disregard, for a moment, the fact that such contentions display an appalling ignorance and indifference about the fundamental philosophies of freedom, and answer them on their own ground. Weighed carefully, the evidence seems generally to support the contrary view. Freedom does work—, quite practically. Many point out that there are even more im­ portant reasons for supporting the teacher’s special freedom than its practical benefits. Says one such person, the conservative writer Russell Kirk: “I do not believe that academic freedom deserves preservation chiefly because it ‘serves the commu­ nity,’ although this incidental function is important. I think, rather, that the principal importance of academic freedom is the opportunity it affords for the highest development of private reason and im­ agination, the improvement of mind and heart by the apprehension of Truth, whether or not that de­ velopment is of any immediate use to ‘democratic society’.” The conclusion, however, is the same, whether the reasoning is conducted on practical, philosophical or religious grounds—or on all three: The unusual freedom claimed by (and accorded to) the college teacher is strongly justified. “This freedom is immediately applicable only to a limited number of individuals,” says the statement of principles of a professors’ organization, “but it is profoundly important for the public at large. It safe­ guards the methods by which we explore the un­ known and test the accepted. It may afford a key to open the way to remedies for bodily or social ills, or it may confirm our faith in the familiar. Its preser­ vation is necessary if there is to be scholarship in any true sense of the word. The advantages accrue as much to the public as to the scholars themselves.” Hence we give teachers an extension of freedom— academic freedom—that we give to no other group in our society: a special set of guarantees designed to encourage and insure their boldness, their forth­ rightness, their objectivity, and (if necessary) their criticism of us who maintain them. The idea works most of the time, but.. many good theories, this one works for li most of the time at most colleges and uni|L=. versifies. But it is subject to continual stresses. And it suffers occasional, and sometimes spectacular, breakdowns. If past experience can be taken as a guide, at this very moment: t> An alumnus is composing a letter threatening to strike his alma mater from his will unless the insti­ tution removes a professor whose views on some controversial issue—in economics? in genetics? in politics?—the alumnus finds objectionable. ► The president of a college or university, or one of his aides, is composing a letter to an alumnus in which he tries to explain why the institution cannot remove a professor whose views on some controver­ sial issue the alumnus finds objectionable. > A group of liberal legislators, aroused by reports from the campus of their state university that a professor of economics is preaching fiscal conserva­ tism, is debating whether it should knock some sense into the university by cutting its appropria­ tion for next year. > A group of conservative legislators is aroused by reports that another professor of economics is preaching fiscal liberalism. This group, too, is con­ sidering an appropriation cut. > The president of a college, faced with a budget­ ary crisis in his biology department, is pondering whether or not he should have a heart-to-heart chat with a teacher whose views on fallout, set forth in a letter to the local newspaper, appear to be scaring away the potential donor of at least one million dollars. ► The chairman of an academic department, still smarting from the criticism that two colleagues lev­ eled at the learned paper he delivered at the de­ partmental seminar last week, is making up the new class schedules and wondering why the two up­ starts wouldn’t be just the right persons for those ? a.m. classes which increased enrollments will ne­ cessitate next year. ► The educational board of a religious denomina­ tion is wondering why it should continue to permit the employment, at one of the colleges under its hike J control, of a teacher of religion who is openly ques­ tioning a doctrinal pronouncement made recently by the denomination’s leadership. ► The managers of an industrial complex, worried by university research that reportedly is linking their product with a major health problem, are won­ dering how much it might cost to sponsor university research to show that their product is not the cause of a major health problem. Pressures, inducements, threats: scores of exam­ ples, most of them never publicized, could be cited each year by our colleges and universities. In addition there is philosophical opposition to the present concept of academic freedom by a few who sincerely believe it is wrong. (“In the last analysis,” one such critic, William F. Buckley. Jr.. once wrote, “academic freedom must mean the freedom of men and women to supervise the educa­ tional activities and aims of the schools they oversee and support.”) And, considerably less important and more frequent, there is opposition by emotion­ alists and crackpots. Since criticism and coercion do exist, and since academic freedom has virtually no basis in law. how can the college teacher enforce his claim to it? �In the face of pressures, how the professor stays free ■ N the mid-1800’s, many professors lost their jobs I over their views on slavery and secession. In the I 1870’s and ’80’s, many were dismissed for thenviews on evolution. Near the turn of the century, a number lost their jobs for speaking out on the issue of Free Silver. The trend alarmed many college teachers. Until late in the last century, most teachers on this side of the Atlantic had been mere purveyors of the knowledge that others had accumulated and written down. But, beginning around 1870, many began to perform a dual function: not only did they teach, but they themselves began to investigate the world about them. Assumption of the latter role, previously per­ formed almost exclusively in European universi­ ties, brought a new vitality to our campuses. It also brought perils that were previously unknown. As long as they had dealt only in ideas that were clas­ sical, generally accepted, and therefore safe, teach­ ers and the institutions of higher learning did little that might offend their governing boards, their alumni, the parents of their students, the public, and the state. But when they began to act as in­ vestigators in new areas of knowledge, they found themselves affecting the status quo and the inter­ ests of those who enjoyed and supported it. And, as in the secession, evolution, and silver con­ troversies, retaliation was sometimes swift. In 1915, spurred by their growing concern over such infringements of their freedom, a group of teachers formed the American Association of Uni­ versity Professors. It now has 52,000 members, in the United States and Canada. For nearly half a century an AAUP committee, designated as “Com­ mittee A,” has been academic freedom’s most active —and most effective—defender. "■jpa’HE aaup’s defense of academic freedom is I based on a set of principles that its members I have developed and refined throughout the or­ ganization’s history. Its current statement of these principles, composed in collaboration with the As­ sociation of American Colleges, says in part; “Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition.” The statement spells out both the teacher’s rights and his duties: “The teacher is entitled to full freedom in re­ search and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of his other academic duties. . . “The teacher is entitled to freedom in the class­ room in discussing his subject., but he should be careful not to introduce . . . controversial matter which has no relation to his subject . . . “The college or university teacher is a citizen, a member of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational institution. When he speaks or writes as a citizen, he should be free from institutional censor­ ship or discipline, but his special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a man of learning and an educational officer, he should re­ member that the public may judge his profession and his institution by lais utterances. Hence he should at all times be accurate, should exercise ap­ propriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that he is not an institutional spokesman.” l! |OW can such claims to academic freedom be I--1 enforced? How can a teacher be protected * “ against retaliation if the truth, as he finds it and teaches it, is unpalatable to those who employ him? The American Association of University Profes- sors sors and the Association of American Colleges have formulated this answer: permanent job security, or tenure. After a probationary period of not more than seven years, agree the AAUP and the AAC, the teacher’s services should be terminated “only for adequate cause.” If a teacher were dismissed or forced to resign simply because his teaching or research offended someone, the cause, in AAUP and AAC terms, clearly would not be adequate. The teacher’s recourse? He may appeal to the AAUP, which first tries to mediate the dispute with­ out publicity. Failing such settlement, the AAUP conducts a full investigation, resulting in a full re­ port to Committee A. If a violation of academic freedom and tenure is found to have occurred, the committee publishes its findings in the association’s Bulletin, takes the case to the AAUP membership, and often asks that the offending college or univer­ sity administration be censured. So effective is an AAUP vote of censure that most college administrators will go to great lengths to avoid it. Although the AAUP does not engage in boycotts, many of its members, as well as others in t e academic profession, will not accept jobs in censured institutions. Donors of funds, including many philanthropic foundations, undoubtedly are influ­ enced; so are many parents, students, alumni, and present faculty members. Other organizations, such as the American Association of University Women, will not recognize a college on the AAUP’s censure list. As the present academic year began, eleven insti­ tutions were on the AAUP’s list of censured admin­ istrations. Charges of infringements of academic freedom or tenure were being investigated on four­ teen other campuses. In the past three years, seven institutions, having corrected the situations which had led to AAUP action, have been removed from the censure category. Has the teacher’s freedom oo IIimitations? n now sweeping is the freedom that the college i-1 teacher claims? U ” Does it, for example, entitle a member of the faculty of a church-supported college or university openly to question the existence of God? Does it, for example, entitle a professor of botany to use his classroom for the promulgation of political beliefs? Does it, for example, apply to a Communist? There are those who would answer some, or all, such questions with an unqualified Yes. They would argue that academic freedom is absolute. They would say that any restriction, however it may be rationalized, effectively negates the entire academic­ freedom concept. “You are either free or not free,” says one. “There are no halfway freedoms.” There are others—the American Association of University Professors among them—who say that freedom can be limited in some instances and, by definition, is limited in others, without fatal damage being done. Restrictions at church-supported’ colleges and universities The AAUP-AAC statement of principles of aca­ demic freedom implicitly allows religious restric­ tions: “Limitations of academic freedom because of re­ ligious or other aims of the institution should be clearly stated in writing at the time of |the teacher’s] appointment . . .” Here is how one church-related university (Prot- �estant) states such a “limitation” to its faculty members: “Since X University is a Christian institution supported by a religious denomination, a member of its faculty is expected to be in sympathy with the university’s primary objective—to educate its stu­ dents within the framework of a Christian culture. The rights and privileges of the instructor should, therefore, be exercised with discretion and a sense of loyalty to the supporting institution... The right of dissent is a correlative of the right of assent. Any undue restriction upon an instructor in the exercise of this function would foster a suspicion of intoler­ ance, degrade the university, and set the supporting denomination in a false light before the world.” Another church-related institution (Roman Cath­ olic) tells its teachers: “While Y College is operated under Catholic aus­ pices, there is no regulation which requires all mem­ bers of the faculty to be members of the Catholic faith. A faculty member is expected to maintain a standard of life and conduct consistent with the phi­ losophy and objectives of the college. Accordingly, the integrity of the college requires that all faculty members shall maintain a sympathetic attitude to­ ward Catholic beliefs and practices, and shall make a sincere effort to appreciate these beliefs and prac­ tices. Members of the faculty who are Catholic are expected to set a good example by the regular prac­ tice of Catholic duties.” A teacher’s “competence” By most definitions of academic freedom, a teach­ er’s rights in the classroom apply only to the field in which he is professionally an expert, as determined by the credentials he possesses. They do not extend to subjects that are foreign to his specialty. . . He should be careful,” says the American Association of University Professors and the Asso­ ciation of American Colleges, “not to introduce into his teaching controversial matter which has no re­ lation to his subject.” Hence a professor of botany enjoys an undoubted freedom to expound his botanical knowledge, how­ ever controversial it might be. (He might discover, and teach, that some widely consumed cereal grain, known for its energy-giving properties, actually is of little value to man and animals, thus causing con­ sternation and angry outcries in Battle Creek. No one on the campus is likely to challenge his right to do so.) He probably enjoys the right to comment, from a botanist’s standpoint, upon a conservation bill pending in Congress. But the principles of aca­ demic freedom might not entitle the botanist to take The Communist: a specoall case? A Communist Party member enjoy the privileges of academic freedom? Should he be permitted to hold a position on a college or university faculty? On few questions, however “obvious” the answer may be to some persons, can complete agreement be found in a free society. In a group as conditioned to controversy and as insistent upon hard proof as are college teachers, a consensus is even more rare. It would thus be a miracle if there were agree­ ment on the rights of a Communist Party member to enjoy academic privileges. Indeed, the miracle has not yet come to pass. The question is still warmly debated on many campuses, even where there is not a Communist in sight. The American Association of University Professors is still in the process of defining its stand. The difficulty, for some, lies in determining whether or not a communist teacher actually propa­ gates his beliefs among students. The question is asked, Should a communist gym instructor, whose utterances to his students are confined largely to the hup-two-three-four that he chants when he leads the calisthenics drill, be summarily dismissed? Should a chemist, who confines his campus activities solely to chemistry? Until he overtly preaches com­ munism, or permits it to taint his research, his writings, or his teaching (some say), the Communist should enjoy the same rights as all other faculty members. Others—and they appear to be a growing num­ ber have concluded that proof of Communist Party membership is in itself sufficient grounds for dismissal from a college faculty. To support the argument of this group, Professor Arthur Q. Lovejoy, who in 1913 began the move­ ment that led to the establishment of the AAUP, as quoted a statement that he wrote in 1920, long efore communism on the campus became a lively issue: Society ... is not getting from the scholar the Particular service which is the principal raison etre of his calling, unless it gets from him his onest report of what he finds, or believes, to be rue, after careful study of the problems with which zs=^hould a classroom stand on, say, a bill dealing with traffic laws in his state. As a private citizen, of course, off the college cam­ pus, he is as free as any other citizen to speak on whatever topic he chooses—and as liable to criti­ cism of what he says. He has no special privileges when he acts outside his academic role. Indeed, the AAUP-AAC statement of principles suggests that he take special pains, when he speaks privately, not to be identified as a spokesman for his institution. n hence, at least in the view of the most influen|—| tial of teachers’ organizations, the freedom of I 1 the college teacher is less than absolute. But the limitations are established for strictly defined purposes: (1) to recognize the religious auspices of many colleges and universities and (2) to lay down certain ground rules for scholarly procedure and con­ duct. In recent decades, a new question has arisen to haunt those who would define and protect academic freedom: the problem of the Communist. When it began to be apparent that the Communist was not simply a member of a political party, willing (like other political partisans) to submit to established democratic processes, the question of his eligibility to the rights of a free college teacher was seriously posed. So pressing—and so worrisome to our colleges and universities—has this question become that a separate section of this report is devoted to it. he deals. Insofar, then, as faculties are made up of men whose teachings express, not the results of their own research and reflection and that of their fellow­ specialists, but rather the opinions of other men— whether holders of public office or private persons from whom endowments are received—just so far are colleges and universities perverted from their proper function . . .” (His statement is the more pertinent, Professor Lovejoy notes, because it was originally the basis of “a criticism of an American college for accepting from a ‘capitalist’ an endowment for a special pro­ fessorship to be devoted to showing ‘the fallacies of socialism and kindred theories and practices.’ I have now added only the words ‘holders of public office.’ ”) Let us quote Professor Lovejoy at some length, as he looks at the communist teacher today: “It is a very simple argument; it can best be put, in the logician’s fashion, in a series of numbered theorems: “1. Freedom of inquiry, of opinion, and of teach­ ing in universities is a prerequisite, if the academic scholar is to perform the proper function of his profession. “2. The Communist Party in the United States is an organization whose aim is to bring about the establishment in this country of a political as well as an economic system essentially similar to that which now exists in the Soviet Union. “3. That system does not permit freedom of in­ quiry, of opinion, and of teaching, either in or outside of universities; in it the political govern­ ment claims and exercises the right to dictate to scholars what conclusions they must accept, or at least profess to accept, even on questions lying within their own specialties—for example, in philos­ ophy, in history, in aesthetics and literary criticism, in economics, in biology. “4. A member of the Communist Party is there­ fore engaged in a movement which has already ex­ tinguished academic freedom in many countries and would—if it were successful here—result in the abolition of such freedom in American universities, “5. No one, therefore, who desires to maintain �■■ “To say these things is not to say that the ecojnic and even the political doctrines of commu"°snl should not be presented and freely discussed vithin academic walls. To treat them simply as ‘dangerous thought,’ with which students should t t,e permitted to have any contact, would give ”ise to a plausible suspicion that they are taboo because they would, if presented, be all too con­ vincing; and out of that suspicion young Commu­ nists are bred. These doctrines, moreover, are his­ torical facts; for better or worse, they play an immense part in the intellectual and political con­ troversies of the present age. To deny to students means of learning accurately what they are, and of reaching informed judgments about them, would be to fail in one of the major pedagogic obligations of a university—to enable students to understand the world in which they will live, and to take an intelligent part in its affairs . . .” academic freedom in America can consistently favor that movement, or give indirect assistance to it by accepting as fit members of the faculties of uni­ versities, persons who have voluntarily adhered to an organization one of whose aims is to abolish academic freedom. “Of these five propositions, the first is one of principle. For those who do not accept it, the con­ clusion does not follow. The argument is addressed only to those who do accept that premise. The second, third, and fourth propositions are state­ ments of fact. I submit that they cannot be honestly gainsaid by any who are acquainted with the relevant facts . . . “It will perhaps be objected that the exclusion of communist teachers would itself be a restriction upon freedom of opinion and of teaching—viz., of the opinion and teaching that intellectual freedom should be abolished in and outside of universities; and that it is self-contradictory to argue for the restriction of freedom in the name of freedom. The argument has a specious air of logicality, but it is in fact an absurdity. The believer in the indis­ pensability of freedom, whether academic or politi- cal, is not thereby committed to the conclusion that it is his duty to facilitate its destruction, by placing its enemies in strategic positions of power, prestige, or influence . . . The conception of freedom is not one which implies the legitimacy and inevitability of its own suicide. It is, on the contrary, a concep­ tion which, so to say, defines the limit of its own applicability; what it implies is that there is one kind of freedom which is inadmissible—the freedom to destroy freedom. The defender of liberty of thought and speech is not morally bound to enter the fight with both hands tied behind his back. And those who would deny such freedom to others, if they could, have no moral or logical basis for the claim to enjoy the freedom which they would deny ■ • • “In the professional code of the scholar, the man of science, the teacher, the first commandment is: Thou shalt not knowingly misrepresent facts, nor tell lies to students or to the public. Those who not merely sometimes break this commandment, but repudiate any obligation to respect it, are obviously disqualified for membership in any body of investi­ gators and teachers which maintains the elementary requirements of professional integrity. I f every communist admitted he belonged to the I party—or if the public, including college teachers I and administrators, somehow had access to party membership fists—such a policy might not be diffi­ cult to apply. In practice, of course, such is not the case. A two-pronged danger may result: (1) we may not “spot” all Communists, and (2) unless we are very careful, we may do serious injustice to persons who are not Communists at all. What, for example, constitutes proof of Commu­ nist Party membership? Does refusal to take a loyalty oath? (Many non-Communists, as a matter of principle, have declined to subscribe to “dis­ criminatory” oaths—oaths required of one group in society, e.g., teachers, but not of others.) Does invoking the Fifth Amendment? Of some 200 dis™s®als from college and university faculties in the past titteen years, where communism was an issue, according to AAUP records, most were on grounds sue as these. Only a handful of teachers were incontrovertibly proved, either by their own admission or by other hard evidence, to be Communist Party members. Instead of relying on less-than-conclusive evi­ dence of party membership, say some observers, we would be wiser—and the results would be surer— if we were to decide each case by determining whether the teacher has in fact violated his trust. Has he been intellectually dishonest? Has he mis­ stated facts? Has he published a distorted bibli­ ography? Has he preached a party line in his class­ room? By such a determination we would be able to bar the practicing Communist from our campuses, along with all others guilty of academic dishonesty or charlatanry. How can the facts be established? As one who holds a position of unusual trust, say most educators (including the teachers’ own or­ ganization, the AAUP), the teacher has a special obligation: if responsible persons make serious charges against his professional integrity or his in­ tellectual honesty, he should be willing to submit to examination by his colleagues. If his answers to the charges are unsatisfactory—evasive, or not in accord with evidence—formal charges should be brought against him and an academic hearing, con­ ducted according to due process, should be held. Thus, say many close observers of the academic scene, society can be sure that justice is done— both to itself and to the accused. b the colltege teacher’s freedom in any real jeopardy? Lj°w free is the college teacher today? What 'i | are his prospects for tomorrow? Either here or °n the horizon, are there any serious eats to his freedom, besides those threats to the lreedom of us all? Any reader of history knows that it is wise to adopt the 5view that freedom is always in jeopardy. With such1 a view, one is likely to maintain safe- guards. Without safeguards, freedom is sure to be eroded and soon lost. So it is with the special freedom of the college teacher—the freedom of ideas on which our civiliza­ tion banks so much. Periodically, this freedom is buffeted heavily. In part of the past decade, the weather was particular­ ly stormy. College teachers were singled out for �Are matters of academic freedom easy Try handling some of these You are a college president. Your college is your life. You have thrown every talent you possess into its development. No use being mod­ est about it: your achievements have been great. The faculty has been strength­ ened immeasurably. The student body has grown not only in size but in academic quality and aptitude. The campus itself—dormitories, lab­ oratories, classroom buildings— would hardly be recognized by any­ one who hasn’t seen it since before you took over. Your greatest ambition is yet to be realized: the construction of a new library. But at last it seems to be in sight. Its principal donor, a wealthy man whom you have culti­ vated for years, has only the techni­ calities—but what important tech­ nicalities!—to complete: assigning to the college a large block of secur­ ities which, when sold, will provide the necessary 33,000,000. This afternoon, a newspaper re­ porter stopped you as you crossed the campus. “Is it true,” he asked, “that John X, of your economics department, is about to appear on coast-to-coast television advocating deficit spending as a cornerstone of federal fiscal policy? I’d like to do an advance story about it, with your comments.” You were not sidestepping the question when you told the reporter you did not know. To tell the truth, you had never met John X, unless it had been for a moment or two of small-talk at a faculty tea. On a faculty numbering several hundred, there are bound to be many whom you know so slightly that you might not recognize them if they passed you on the street. Deficit spending! Only last night, your wealthy library-donor held forth for two hours at the dinner table on the immorality of it. By the end of the evening, his words were almost choleric. He phoned this morning to apologize. “It’s the one subject I get rabid about,” he said. “Thank heavens you’re not teaching that sort of thing on your campus.” You had your secretary discreetly check: John X’s telecast is sched­ uled for next week. It will be at least two months before you get those library funds. There is John X’s extension number, and there is the telephone. And there are your lifetime’s dreams. Should you . . .? You are a university scientist. You are deeply involved in highly complex research. Not only the equipment you use, but also the laboratory assistance you require, is expensive. The cost is far more than the budget of your university department could afford to pay. So, like many of your colleagues, you depend upon a governmental agency for most of your financial support. Its research grants and contracts make your work possible. But now, as a result of your studies and experiments, you have come to a conclusion that is dia­ metrically opposite to that which forms the official policy of the agency that finances you—a policy that potentially affects the welfare of every citizen. You have outlined, and docu­ mented, your conclusion forcefully, in confidential memoranda, sponsible officials believe you are mistaken; you are certain you are not. The disagreement is profound. Clearly the government will not accept your view. Yet you are con- vinced that it is so vital to your country’s welfare that you should not keep it to yourself. You are a man of more than one heavy responsibility, and you feel them keenly. You are, of course, re­ sponsible to your university. You have a responsibility to your col­ leagues, many of whose work is financed similarly to yours. You are, naturally, responsible to your coun­ try. You bear the responsibility of a teacher, who is expected to hold back no knowledge from his stu­ dents. You have a responsibility to your own career. And you feel a responsibility to the people you see on the street, whom you know your knowledge affects. Loyalties, conscience, lifetime fi­ nancial considerations: your di­ lemma has many horns. Should you . . .? You are a business man. You make toothpaste. It is good toothpaste. You maintain a research department, at considerable ex­ pense, to keep it that way. A disturbing rumor reached you this morning. Actually, it’s more than a rumor; you could class it as a well-founded report. The dental school of a famous university is about to publish the results of a study of toothpastes. And, if your informant had the facts straight, it can do nothing but harm to your current selling campaign. You know the dean of the dental school quite well. Your company, as part of its policy of supporting good works in dental science, has been a regular and substantial con­ tributor to the school’s development fund. It’s not as if you were thinking of suppressing anything; your record to solve? problems. of turning out a good product—the best you k--~ know best ■ —is ample proof of that. But -if that report were to that. come out now, in the midst of your campaign. it could be ruinous. A few months from now, and no harm would be done. Would there be anything wrong if you . . •? Your daughter is at State. You’re proud of her; first in her class at high school; pretty girl; popular: extraordinarily sensible, in spite of having lots of things to turn her head. It was hard to send her off to the university last fall. She had never been away from the family for more than a day or two at a time. But you had to cut the apron-strings. And no experience is a better teacher than going away to college. You got a letter from her this morning. Chatty, breezy, a bit sassy in a delightful way. You smiled as you read her youthful jargon. She delights in using it on you, because she remembers how you grimaced in mock horror whenever you heard it around the house. Even so, you turned cold when you came to the paragraph about the sociology class. The so-called scientific survey that the professor a made of the sexual behavior of teen-agers.

It was I felt on every campus. Today’s storms are » local; some campuses measure the threat to their teachers’ freedom at hurricane force, while others feel hardly a breeze. Hence, the present—relatively calm—is a good time for assessing the values of academic freedom, and for appreciating them. The future is certain to bring more threats, and the understanding that we can build today may stand us in good stead, then. What is the likely nature of tomorrow’s threats? “It is my sincere impression that the faculties of our universities have never enjoyed a greater lati­ tude of intellectual freedom than they do today,” says the president of an institution noted for its high standards of scholarship and freedom. “But this is a judgment relative only to the past. “The search for truth has no ending. The need to seek truth for its own sake must constantly be de­ fended. Again and again we shall have to insist upon the right to express unorthodox views reached through honest and competent study. “Today the physical sciences offer safe ground for speculation. We appear to have made our peace with biology, even with the rather appalling im­ plications of modern genetics. “Now it is the social sciences that have entered the arena. These are young sciences, and they are difficult. But the issues involved—the positions taken with respect to such matters as economic growth, the tax structure, deficit financing, the laws �to the danger of acting injudiciously—and of com­ affecting labor and management, automation, social welfare, or foreign aid—are of enormous conse­ quence to all the people of this country. If the critics of our universities feel strongly on these questions, it is because rightly or wrongly they have identi­ fied particular solutions uniquely with the future prosperity of our democracy. All else must then be heresy.” Opposition to such “heresy”—and hence to aca­ demic freedom—is certain to come. mitting injustice. The subtleties and complexities found in the gray areas will be endless. Even the scope of academic freedom will be involved. Should its privileges, for example, apply only to faculty members? Or should they extend to students, as well? Should students, as well as faculty members, be free to invite con­ troversial outsiders to the campus to address them? And so on and on. The educated alumnus and alumna, faced with specific issues involving academic freedom, may well ponder these and other questions in years to come. Legislators, regents, trustees, college ad­ ministrators, students, and faculty members will be pondering them, also. They will look to the alumnus and alumna for understanding and—if the cause be just—for support. Let no reader underestimate the difficulty—or the importance—of his role. | N THE FUTURE, as at present, the concept of acaI demic freedom will be far fronr uncomplicated. ■ Applying its principles in specific cases rarely will be easy. Almost never will the facts be all white or all black; rather, the picture that they form is more likely to be painted in tones of gray.

History Department In opening the series of faculty editorials planned by the editors of THE BEACON, I have been asked to comment on the Cuban crisis. The following comments are intended only to be thought-provoking; they do not presume to prescribe a method of resolving the crisis. Moreover, by the time they appear in print, they may have been rendered obsolete by the course of events. With these caveats in mind, let me say first that I hope the “intelligence” on which the President is basing his present policy is correct. The CIA and its predecessor cloak-anddagger agencies have been guilty of supplying faulty “intelligence” more than once in the past. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, however, one can only accept the President’s evaluation of the evidence that has been presented, hoping that the President himself has not been misled by faulty “intelligence.” Illustrations by Robert Ross The report on this and the preceding 15 pages is the product of a cooperative endeavor in which scores of schools, colleges, and universities are taking part.

International law does not recognize the type of blockade that we have instituted as valid in time of peace, i. e., un­ accompanied by a declaration of war. If, as I firmly beteve, the Cold War is not intended by responsible leaders on either side to be merely a prelude to a hot war but is rather a struggle for the minds of men, then it will be a ong struggle, lasting probably for generations. In such a ^juggle world opinion and the “image” that the United ates presents to the world become very important. They W1 , indeed, probably be the determining factors in such j1 s ruggle. Under these circumstances we cannot affoid in e to° often flouting international law which, a limited area, represents considered world opinion. oreover, it ill behooves us, who in the past have made ° much of the sanctity of law and treaties, to become ’selves the violator of law.

Indeed, it ap­ proaches a certainty, and as the eminent British scientist, • P. Snow, has said, “Between a risk and a certainity a sane man does not hesitate.” Looking at the crisis from another point of view, can we be sure that we haven’t allowed ourselves to be lured by the Russian bear into a baited trap? When Khrushchev now turns on the heat in Berlin, as he has promised to do before the end of the year, we shall doubtless again rush troop reinforcements and probably nuclear weapons to that hot spot. Khrushchev will denounce such action as a threat to the security of the Soviet Union and demand that all missile sites within intermediate range be demolished. When we refuse, he may institute an illegal blockade of West Berlin. What objections can we then raise? We shall be estopped by our own previous illegal blockade of Cuba from raising any legal objection that we might otherwise have raised. Have we not then literally invited Mr. Khrushchev to use illegal means to thwart our reinforce­ ment of West Berlin? The next question is one I hestitate to ask. It is this: Could our sudden reversal of policy and the assumption of a much tougher line toward Cuba and the Soviet Union have anything to do with domestic politics and the approaching election? This thought crossed my mind at the beginning of the recent crisis, but I immediately dismissed it as too monstrous and fantastic for consideration. Yet that very evening, on picking up the New York Times, I found this very charge being made by one of its most responsible and conservative columnists. Subsequently Drew Pearson made the same charge even more pointedly, claiming that this was indeed one of the important factors that tipped the scales in favor of the tougher policy. With millions of lives and possibly even the continued existence of humanity itself at stake, further comment from me on this point would be superfluous. I shall only repeat the comment of one of my fellow faculty members that, if further evidence really supports such charges, he is going to resign from the human race. One final comment. Listening to that weather-vane of public opinion, the “man in the street,” one cannot but be amazed and appalled at the depth and virulence of his hatred of Russia and the Russians. Hatred is a consuming passion. Could it be that in the end, instead of expiring in a nuclear holocaust, we shall be consumed by our own hatred? I have by no means exhausted the subject, nor have I offered any sure road to salvation, but I shall be satisfied if my comments furnish the fuel for some hot arguments around the lunch tables in the Commons or at the ■ bull" sessions in the dormitories. �POIN T (CONTINUED) by Joseph H. Kanner, M.A. Department of Psychology In a previous discussion, Dr. Harold Thatcher raised some questions relevant to the Cuban situation and expressed amazement at the depth and virulence of American hatred of Russia and the Russians. He concluded with the observa­ tion that, “Hatred is a consuming passion. Could it be that in the end, instead of expiring in a nuclear holocaust, we shall be consumed by our own hatred?” Since then, this has been reinforced by additional statements from many Americans, that we should have invaded Cuba — even at the risk of a nuclear war. The latter statement warrants serious examination. These are some instances of behavior which are especially striking examples of the strong tendency to distort or to ignore fundamental aspects of events and their conseq­ uences associated with the context of thermonuclear war. On the face of it, the distortions and oversights are so gross that one can suspect that the individuals and institu­ tions involved are not responding with sufficient attention to reality to be called sane by any standard. All over the world guilt and anxiety have been mounting steadily with each betrayal, each wilful blindness, and each crime against humanity that implicates everyone. There has been the guilt about Munich, the guilt of Belsen and Dachau. Buchenwald and Auschwitz, the gas chambers, the concentration camps and the mass graves; the lampshades made of human skin, and the soap made of human fat; the guilt of the atom bomb, the guilt and terror aroused by the hydrogen bomb. We are living in an age of anxiety coupled with an age of terror. This leads me to share with you a depressing speculation, derived from Dr. Thatcher’s quoted statement, which - thers me and bothers more people in more places than you may think. All of us carry a burden of free-floating guilt. In the United States at least, those who rise to responsible positions of power probably carry more of such a burden than those who do not, because attaining politically powerful positions frequently requires behavior contradictory to the JudeoChristian tradition. This guilt is easier to live with in a world where one’s goals seem to be attainable and where one's values seem viable. But there is a feeling abroad in this nation that somehow our response not only to the Russians but to the world has been inadequate, that our goals seem rootless, that we are a society in search of a faith. And there is a feeling of frustration, of a growing inability to make things go our way. This sense of in­ adequacy, combined with a sense of guilt, combined with great frustration, could produce an outburst of destructive fury, ostensibly toward an enemy. But in great part this destructive outburst could be motivated by an unconscious effort to annihilate from consciousness, even if it means destroying that consciousness forever, the sense of guilt, of frustration, of inadequacy, which today confronts so many people of this society. War could be a way to wipe the per­ sonal, national, and international slate clean. We know enough about people as individuals to know that they act this way. We don’t know enough about individuals acting in and as institutions to know how significant for behavior are threats to the self-image. We must find out and apply what we find out soon—or there may be no society left, normal or pathological. Can we visualize a similar phenomena in the Soviet Union? There is no doubt that the United States believes that the future is with her. But the U.S.S.R. also believes that the future is with her, and she can interpret much that happens in the world in support of this thesis. Under what circum­ stances, then, would she risk destroying that future if she had any alternative to initiating an attack to which we would retaliate? Our chief worry should not be that Russia would rationally calculate an attack, but rather that she would perceive some situation in which we might place her as allowing her no alternative but to attack. And we might as well place her in such a position if our leaders believe in the effective­ ness of our strike force and if they are supported by a public bursting with belligerence and hatred. So cornered, the furious, frustrated, desperate leadership of the U.S. S.R. would attack this nation, no longer knowing nor car­ ing whether they could do sufficient damage to our strike capability. In this state of mind, the Russians would have no choice, no wish, to do other than smash our cities, all of them, and with them the social system which had so har­ ried and driven the Soviets. It seems to be perfectly clear that under these frantic circumstances, Russia’s means for destroying its enemy once and for all would not be by fruitless attacks on a strike capacity, but by destroying the social fabric of the enemy by smashing his cities. After much serious consideration, and with the deepest sense of conviction, I believe that nations must reevaluate the ideals to which their national life has been dedicated in the past—the concepts of soverign nations, of national power and grandeur, of national security and of economic interests. All nations must dedicate themselves to the pursuit of the viability of mankind as a whole, to its survival and to its progress. page|2D POINT is saVlZ ,I .

Vujica Department of Philosophy and Religion At the height of the recent Cuban crisis, Premier Khrush­ chev wrote private letters to two men in the West — Presi­ dent Kennedy and the British philosopher, Lord Russell. I have been asked to comment on Russell’s frequent ex­ cursions from the ivory tower of mathematical logic into the cold war arena, especially his recent antics in London streets as leader of the Committee of One Hundred whose slogan is “better Red than dead.” First, let me say a few words about Bertrand Russell. He is one of the few seminal thinkers of the twentieth century, probably the greatest living philosopher and certainly the most controversial one. Not since Socrates, who enjoyed the game of exploding the neat little certitudes of his contemporaries, has a philosopher been more eager to ex­ press unpopular views on popular issues. Like Socrates, the gadfly" of Athens, Russell seems to relish the self­ assumed role of the conscience of the age. And like his Greek counterpart, he has more than once been accused of denying recognized beliefs” and “corrupting the young.” Russell s contributions to philosophy have been many and great. His contributions to the Cold War diplomacy, I fear, ave been less fortunate. He urged President Truman to rop atomic bombs on the Soviet Union if it rejected prof°r international control. As late as 1954, even after 6 lingering effects of the radioactivity became known, ussell wrote that as much as he deplored the holocaust of ^r, he would regard it as a lesser evil than the loss of estern Europe to communism. Today his foreign policy P'atform is “better Red than dead.” What are we to think of this newest twist of Russellian Political wisdom? in ^USSeh were addressing himself to individual citizens of’nSa^’ China or Hungary, his slogan would be a counsel certa" 6'?ce' choice were between either a useless and tend ln • ea*h or submission, only a person with suicidal encies or a perverted sense of martyrdom would choose how r; a sane person prefers living to dying no matter not . aijd unpleasant life may be. Surely, bravery does take g”818,4 ™ a willingness to die, but in a willingness to deatnB-r risks for a noble cause, including the risk of attl if necessary. I'aijoljg There is no point in arguing about the effects of a nuclear war; its unspeakable horrors can be easily visualized. This makes it imperative that all concerned be willing to go to any length, short of surrender, to prevent it. War has al­ ways been a risky and evil business. The only moral justi­ fication for even a defensive war is that it is the lesser of the two evils. The number killed in World War II has heen estimated at over twenty-five million. Yet, would anyone be willing to say that the Allies should have submitted to Hitler rather than risk the horrors of that war? It is, of course, painfully true that the principle of national sovereignties has long become obsolete and that some form of World Government is the most urgent need of our time. But until that consummation devoutly to be wished is achieved, the right to self-defense cannot be denied to na­ tions without leaving the gates wide open to international gangsterism. Indeed, the conviction that we have that right coupled with the willingness to exercise it and the deter­ mination to make the risks too great to the enemy is our only hope for survival. Perhaps the worst part of Russell’s so-called policy is its utter emotionalism and loss of nerve. It is based on fear, “nameless, unreasoning terror which paralyzes needed effort," to quote a famous American president. Russell’s is also a counsel of despair. Paradoxically, those in the West who rely on military strength and the willing­ ness to fight, if need be, have a more optimistic and chari­ table opinion of their enemy than the prophets of sur­ render. For those who shout in street demonstrations “better Red than dead” have assumed that the Commun­ ists lack not only sanity but even the basic human instinct of self-preservation. But the Communists can hardly be as inhuman as all that. They are as aware of the dangers of nuclear war as we are, and as afraid of dying. Someone has said that the onlj’ faith we should have in the Com­ munists is the faith in their desire for survival. Our whole cold war policy is largely predicated on that faith. Let me, in conclusion, quote Spinoza, one of the gentlest and noblest human beings that ever lived: “A free man thinks of nothing less than death; and his wisdom is a med­ itation not of death, but of life." �Alumni News ..

Various planning sessions by the General Chairman, Attorney Eugene Roth ’57; Co-Chairman, Paul A. Klein, ’60 and Attorney Gifford Cappellini, ’45; by the Alumni Association officers: President, Russell Williams, ’50; Vice-President, Leonard Mulcahy, ’58; Secretary, Anita Janerich, ’52; and Treasurer, Attorney Eugene Roth, ’57 and by the Executive Committee were held prior to the big event. All of these efforts became a reality when the Homecoming Weekend “kicked-off” with the annual Warm-up Party on Friday evening, in the Alexander Room of the Host Motel. Co-Chairman, Dr. Frank Gazda, ’59 and Dr. Carl Urbanski, ’57 worked diligently to keep the evening’s program running smoothly. Faculty members, alumni and guests from the Wilkes-Barre area and from all of the alumni chapter areas filled the Alex­ ander Room. Renewing acquaintances and discussmg careers highlighted the social informality of the evening. Appropriate decorations were provided by Theta Delta Rho, women’s sorority at Wilkes. A brief organizational meeting of Theater Alumni took place at 10:00 p.m. in one of the Host’s dining rooms. Prior to the Warm-up Party, a committee of alumni judges headed by Leonard Mulcahy, Attorney Joseph Farrell and Attorney Thomas Brislin completed a review of all Homecoming displays in preparation for the awards presentation the following day. Hollenback Hall, men’s dormitory, won two trophies for the second straight year, one for the best over-all display, the other for the best display of men’s dormitories. Catlin Hall, women’s dormitory, won the trophy in that area, and the Biology Club captured the award in the campus organization’s area. Homecoming activities on Saturday got off to a fast start with the Wilkes—Fairleigh-Dickinson soccer game at 11:00 a.m. Many alumni watched the Wilkes soccer­ men drop a hard-fought game by a 3-1 score. In the afternoon a large crowd of alumni, students, and friends of the College witnessed the outstanding football victory of the Wilkes “Colonels” over the Ursinus “Bears.” The thrilling goal-line stand by the Colonels °*tend in the closing seconds of the game netted the team a 126 victory. Prior to the game, the student car caravan arrived at the athletic field with the Homecoming Queen and her court. Miss Rowena Simms, a sociology major, was crowned Homecoming Queen 1962 by Dr. Farley. Homecoming princesses were Miss Jean Mattern an elementary education major, and Miss Elaine Kozemchak, an art education major. Gifts were presented to the Queen and the princesses by the Alumni Association, the Student Government, the Beacon, and by the Sopho­ more, Junior and Senior Classes. At half-time a colored portrait of George Ralston, Dean of Men, was presented by the Lettermen’s Club to the College. Ralston, who was unaware of plans for the presentation, was given a standing ovation by alumni and friends as he walked out to mid-field from the side­ lines. The Alexander Room at the Host Motel was the scene of the class reunion dinners on Saturday evening. Attor­ ney John Doran, ’57, presided as master of ceremonies. Guests of honor Dr. and Mrs. Farley were seated with the reunion committee members at the head table.

And it is not too long afifterward that most of them with the help of people like Featherman, find none in themselves. Sympathy yes; but not pity. Featherman Has Sympathy But No Pity For “Alkies' “It is strange that men should see sublime inspiration in the ruins of an old church and see none in the ruins of a man!” This passage from one of G. K. Chesterton’s writings looks up provocatively from the desk top of the assistant director of Social Service, assigned to the Al­ coholic Unit of Danville State Hospital. He is Roland Featherman, a native of Shickshinny and a graduate of Wilkes College, Class of 1955 ... he is sightless. This is his story. It is also the story of the only comprehen­ sive program for the alcoholic, specifically geared to his illness and supported by the Commonwealth of Pennsyl­ vania. There is no accurate count of those with an alcoholic problem. Accepted estimates, however, place the nat­ ional figure at 5,500,000. In Pennsylvania, the count is in the neighborhood of 300,000 and in Luzerne County, between 11,000 and 12,000 men and women suffer from this illness which draws into its immediate circle of trag­ edy more than 50,000 people county-wise. On a national basis, this figure jumps to a startling, approximated 11 million. It is quite apparent at this point that any nation with a health problem affecting directly and indirectly 11 million of its citizens eating its way into every facet of the structure of its society-economic, mental, spiritual and physical-has a job on its hands which demands immediate attention. The understandably apathetic attitude on the part of the people and the government toward alcoholism de­ layed action until the 1930’s; and it was not until 1953 that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recognized the problem. It was in this year, under the gubernatorial leadership of John S. Fine and the dogged efforts of a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and newspaper publisher that the Legislature of the state enacted a law providing rehabilitation funds for alcoholics. Even then, Pennsylvania was 37 states behind the rest of the nation! A few pilot alcoholic rehabilitation centers were esta­ blished. One of them was within Clark’s Summit State Hospital. In 1958, it seemed a practical move to locate this unit with Danville State Hospital where today it embraces two buildings-one for women parents, the other for men. And it was in 1958 that Roland Feather­ man joined the staff as a psychiatric social worker. It is a well-known fact among those who work with prob­ lem drinkers that they are constantly running away from themselves. This characteristic Roland Featherman has in common with the alcoholic and his understanding of the “runner” has formed the basis for his outstanding success in being able to help them. For, Featherman too was a “runner,” but for different reasons. He began running when he discovered at the age of four that he was going blind. Finally, when he was in eighth grade, he accepted blindness as part of his life. “Before, it was one desperate search after another, from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital, and all the same story-no hope. I think I know also how it feels when tion passes on to the nlcoholic during thow first inter­ views with this sightlciin num. you stop running and accept things as they are, not what you would like them to be.” And he points to the prayer which every member of Alcoholics Anonymous knows: “God grant me the seren­ ity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the differ­ ence.” After Roland Featherman stopped “running,” he learned to read and write braille in six months, graduated from Shickshinny High School, earned a degree in sociology from Wilkes College in 1955 and a master’s degree from Pittsburgh in 1957. “The State Council for the Blind helped me to get through college and aided me in getting me a scholar­ ship for graduate work. The Council also paid readers, generally fellow students, and I took class notes on a Braille puncher.” George Ralston, dean of men at Wilkes College, recalls Featherman. “We lived four years on the same floor in Butler Hall where I was proctor. Roland had a trem­ endous personality and warmth which endeared him to his fellow students. And his sense of humor was some­ thing to write home about—literally. He was like leaven in the domitory; he made it rise, Life was better for his being there, He never lacked for dates-and with sighted girls, Men were closely attached to him; he was no handicap or drag. He carried his weight at all times. And he was an excellent student, placing on the Dean’s List several times.” Michael Barone, guidance counsellor at Coughlin High School and at one time secretary to the late Judge Ap­ onick, also remembers Featherman. His seat was next to his in several classes at Wilkes. And Barone verifies Dean Ralston’s picture. During the last four year:;, Danvil-e S’t.y tried to help more than 60 alcoholic patients. They live in two comfortable buildings; the womer ir. for­ mer nurses home which accommodates 15 paiieno TFeatherman reports, is never filled to capacity.

Dr. AdlestaizL new direc­ tor of the Bureau of Mental Health Services, Depart­ ment of Welfare in discussing the alcoholic, says: “Ithe past, facilities for treating alcoholics have been great­ ly inadequate or even non-existant. Few attempts were even made to get to the core of the complex problem. “Now we’re coming to realize that alcoholism itself con­ stitutes a serious medical and public health problem. Hospitals are faced with the necessity not only to accept alcoholics on the same basis as other patients, but also to improve the quality of their methods and the scope of their services.” “Good study habits got me through school,” the Wilkes graduate will tell you. “The same habits help me on the job. It’s just a matter of one step at a time, setting a tentative goal, attaining it, and then striking out fur­ ther. There s less chance of falling down along the way.” Featherman sees the work of the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Unit to be of major importance. This is a pilot program which may lead to some fairly great things in the treatment of alcoholism. It will take time, of course, to learn whether we are on the right track. But of this much we are sure, the problem drink­ er is of serious concern to the community and to the nation. Past methods of handling the problem are in­ adequate. Jails do not help alcoholics. Neither do sober-up periods in hospital wards. There must be some­ thing else, and we hope this ‘something’ can be found here.” Roland Featherman’s success at Danville State Hospital is due greatly to the interest he takes in his patients. Above, Featherman conducts a "jaw" session. Featherman is convinced that somewhere, somehow a solution will be found to a condition which causes more broken homes, more crime, more juvenile delinquency than any other cause in America. Much of this convic­ 14 Fea therm whether general h 15 -- - : V. �Reprinted from the Sunday Independent ND WILKES GRADUATE SHOWING i LIGHT TO ALCOHOLICS AT DANVILLE Alcoholics generally are loaded with self-pity, but they find no pity from Featherman.

And it was in 1958 that Roland Featherned the staff as a psychiatric social worker. veil-known fact among those who work with probikers that they are constantly running away from ves. This characteristic Roland Featherman has non with the alcoholic and his understanding of nner” has formed the basis for his outstanding in being able to help them. For, Featherman a “runner,” but for different reasons. He began when he discovered at the age of four that he ng blind. Finally, when he was in eighth grade, oted blindness as part of his life. it was one desperate search after another, from o doctor, hospital to hospital, and all the same > hope. I think I know also how it feels when tion passes on to the alcoholic during those first inter­ views with this sightless man. you stop running and accept things as they are, not what you would like them to be.” And he points to the prayer which every member of Alcoholics Anonymous knows: “God grant me the seren­ ity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the differ­ ence.” After Roland Featherman stopped “running,” he learned to read and write braille in six months, graduated from Shickshinny High School, earned a degree in sociology from Wilkes College in 1955 and a master’s degree from Pittsburgh in 1957. “The State Council for the Blind helped me to get through college and aided me in getting me a scholar­ ship for graduate work. The Council also paid readers, generally fellow students, and I took class notes on a Braille puncher.” George Ralston, dean of men at Wilkes College, recalls Featherman. “We lived four years on the same floor in Butler Hall where I was proctor. Roland had a trem­ endous personality and warmth which endeared him to his fellow students. And his sense of humor was some­ thing to write home about—literally. He was like leaven in the domitory; he made it rise, Life was better for his being there, He never lacked for dates-and with sighted girls, Men were closely attached to him; he was no handicap or drag. He carried his weight at all times. And he was an excellent student, placing on the Dean’s List several times.” Michael Barone, guidance counsellor at Coughlin High School and at one time secretary to the late Judge Ap­ onick, also remembers Featherman. His seat was next to his in several classes at Wilkes. And Barone verifies Dean Ralston’s picture. During the last four years, Danville State Hospital has tried to help more than 60 alcoholic patients. They live in two comfortable buildings; the women in the for­ mer nurses home which accommodates 15 patients. This Featherman reports, is never filled to capacity. Men occupy a building with a capacity of 35 which is filled most of the time. About 25% of these come from Philadelphia. Repeaters, says Featherman are few. In 1961, there were 147 admissions 12 of whom were women! 135 were men. All women came to Danville voluntarily; 71 of the men were also voluntary patients. None of the women re­ turned, although 13 men did. Qualifiedly, Featherman pointed out, some of these former patients may have been returned to other drying-out spots, but Danville has no such record, so it is assumed the report is correct. Dr. Joseph Adlestein, former Danville State Hospital staff physician and chief of the Behavioral Problems Division of the State Department of Health for several years, believes in the need for such programs as the Alcoholic Unit, and more intensive investigation into the problem of alcoholic addiction. Dr. Adlestein, now direc­ tor of the Bureau of Mental Health Services, Depart­ ment of Welfare in discussing the alcoholic, says: “In the past, facilities for treating alcoholics have been great­ ly inadequate or even non-existant. Few attempts were even made to get to the core of the complex problem. “Now we’re coming to realize that alcoholism itself con­ stitutes a serious medical and public health problem. Hospitals are faced with the necessity not only to accept alcoholics on the same basis as other patients, but also to improve the quality of their methods and the scope of their services.” ■■i A! I / VI - I “Good study habits got me through school,” the Wilkes graduate will tell you. “The same habits help me on the job. It’s just a matter of one step at a time, setting a tentative goal, attaining it, and then striking out fur­ ther. There’s less chance of falling down along the way.” Featherman sees the work of the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Unit to be of major importance. 5^ After six months of rehabilitation, a patient leaves to put into practice What Featherman and his staff have taught him. “This is a pilot program which may lead to some fairly great things in the treatment of alcoholism. It will take time, of course, to learn whether we are on the right track. But of this much we are sure, the problem drink­ er is of serious concern to the community and to the nation. Past methods of handling the problem are in­ adequate. Jails do not help alcoholics. Neither do sober-up periods in hospital wards. There must be some­ thing else, and we hope this ‘something’ can be found here.” Roland Featherman’s success at Danville State Hospital is due greatly to the interest he takes in his patients. Above, Featherman conducts a “jaw” session. Featherman is convinced that somewhere, somehow a solution will be found to a condition which causes more broken homes, more crime, more juvenile delinquency than any other cause in America. Much of this convic- 14 Featherman amplifies somewhat on this: When asked whether there was any Pennsylvania law prohibiting general hospitals from accepting alcoholics as patients, he replied in the negative. As to why they hedge on accepting those suffering from what the American Medi­ cal Association has accepted as a disease, he responded that this policy of rejection has been built up over the years. Featherman also believes in community help in the form of councils or committees on alcoholism. As to where the money might be found to help combat the problems of alcoholism, Dr. Adlestein says: “If we in Pennsylvania can spend annually over 287 million dollars at State Liquor Stores, and an undisclosed amount across our favorite bar, I’m sure there must be a little around somewhere to help fight a major personal and community calamity.” Roland Featherman also emphasizes the fellow of alco­ holics in the treatment therapy of alcoholism. In his own words, A A is-one of the finest and most successful organizations. “It really gives the alcoholic something to latch on to.” There is no cure for alcoholism. It can only be arrested, In the process, Roland Featherman, a sightless Wilkes College graduate and the Danville State Hospital are contributing their share. 15 �’50 (cont.)

Webb Speaks to Civic Leaders-Held Press Conference Prior to Commencement Address “Our New Science and Technology - Space For By James Edwin Webb, Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administrat NASA Administrator, James E. Webb’s visit to WilkesBarre was primarily to fill an engagement as principal speaker at the 15th Commencement of the College. While they were not publicized, Mr. Webb had two additional appointments on his agenda. The first, to address a luncheon meeting at Hotel Sterling at noon, where 150 invited guests were waiting to hear him; and following the luncheon, to be interviewed at a press conference. NASA’s special Convair plane touched down at the WilkesBarre-Scranton Airport about 11:45 A.M. and was met by Admiral Harold R. Stark, USN, Ret., and Dr. Farley. Whisked to Hotel Sterling, Mr. Webb found an enthusi­ astic audience awaiting him. His talk differed somewhat from the one he delivered in the gymnasium that night, although one would say it complemented the latter. He told the business and professional men, bankers and industrialists that technology and science have created one-half the jobs in which our people are employed today. In defining the space age, he said it is the era when man has invented an engine to reach out beyond the earth’s atmosphere. Although the United States has made tremendous progress during the last ten years, this was not always the case. After the Wright Brothers made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk, the United States paid little heed to aviation. As a result, both Germany and Russia outstripped us. The meeting at the Sterling was called to excite interest m the proposed scientific research and graduate center MOmf nhe ,^ed®veloplnent Authority has allotted L°P’ 0Vlded,the College matches it with $500,000 And Webb excited this interest. 2eetvto^llthheeTP a” neXt ten years’ democratic society will be dependent on trained mindq nf Q x level and that between 16 and 18 billions of doflars^er are now going into research and development; that those communities are wise which can attract some of this money. Webb commented upon the growth of Wilkes College and mentioned that Wilkes recognizes the value of science in today’s world of technology. Touching upon air speed, he recalled in the last ten years, there has been an increase from 700 mph to 4,000 mph. The X-15 engine, he continued, has 57,000 pounds of thrust; the Atlas which carried John Glenn has 360,000 pounds of thrust, and today, there is an advanced flight vehicle which has 7,500,000 pounds of thrust. The unifying thought which persisted throughout Webb’s noon talk was the necessity of knowledge . . . knowledge, and more knowledge. It would come, he said, from the institutions of higher learning. In the Adams Room, outside the Crystal Ballroom, where the meeting was held, members of the press and repre­ sentatives from three television stations and a score o radio stations were set up to interview the administrator of National Aeronautics and Space Administration. s he entered the room, and was introduced by the Pu ic Relations Director of the College, lights biazea aP cameras turned.

He predicted that within a dozen years —or about 1970 —a satellite would circle the earth and the moon. About 1990, he went on, space science and technology would have advanced to the point of launching a space ship carrying human beings which would circle the earth for an extended period as a satellite, and then return safely. The pleasure of ushering a group of alert and enthusiastic graduates into the world of opportunity which lies ahead is one which has come to many thousands of speakers since the process of formal education was first devised. Not all of my predecessors, however, have had the good fortune to perform this mission during an era which offered so much promise. Some of them, indeed, in more dismal periods of our national history, must have struggled mightily to find encouraging and stimulating thoughts with which to launch their listeners on new careers, or a continued search for knowledge. And then, reaching far into the future, he suggested that shortly after the year 2000, men might take passage on a space ship which would land on the moon and return to the earth. These seemed dramatic and far-reaching goals at the time, but we all know how conservative they have become- in the intervening five years. In fact, both the originator of the predictions, and the commencement speaker who quoted them, are acutely aware today how conservative they were. You are emerging from your undergraduate experience in a time of challenge and opportunity which at least equals, if not exceeds, any other in man’s laborious progress from primitive circumstances to the complex and highly de­ veloped society that we know today. The man who created this timetable was James S. Mc­ Donnell, president of the firm which produced the Mercury spacecraft in which John Glenn and Scott Carpenter orbited the earth. The astronauts anticipated his schedule by almost 30 years. We live in a period of scientific progress which is providing us with new knowledge, new processes and new materials at an unprecedented rate. We are witnessing a leaping technology with which men are hard put to keep pace. Ideas which, a few years ago, were largely found in pulp paper fiction today form the core of scientific and technical publications. Predictions which seemed visionary and unrealistic only yesterday, are being fulfilled today at a pace which is outstripping the early hopes of the most optimistic authorities. The commencement speaker who quoted him was James E. Webb. I tell this story on myself, because it illustrates so vividly the pace at which science and technology are moving in this 20th Century. Since becoming Administrator of the national civilian space effort, I have seen the fulfillment of the first two of these predictions, and find myself par­ ticipating in an enterprise which will endeavor to ac­ complish the third — that of lunar landing and return — within this decade. If we achieve this goal recommended by President Kennedy, and established by the Congress, it again will be some 30 years in advance of the date which seemed probable as recently as five years ago. I recall a commencement address given at a western college in 1957, only five years ago — five years yesterday, to be exact — in which the speaker quoted a timetable for space exploration which had been drafted by a leader in the aeronautics industry.

The geometric progression of accomplishment in scientific research and technology will be the dominant feature of your lives. Unlike most of your forebears, you will never have the opportunity to become fully adjusted to the world as you know it before you have thrust upon you, or before you help to discover and develop, new ideas, new methods, and new products which will change the way you live. We live in a world of change, and more than any other generation, have learned to accept it as a fact of life. This is in sharp contrast with the situation which prevailed during most of human experience. construction of a railroad between Liverpool and Man­ chester, many of the Members were convinced that no one would dare to ride such a fiendish device. It was asserted that travelors would sooner let themselves be "blown away atop a gunpowder rocket than trust them­ selves to such a machine.’’ One wonders what those states­ men would say of Shepard, Grissom, Carpenter, or Glenn. Within our own century, science and technology began a rapid acceleration, but even this was most gradual until very recent years. For example, despite his own ad­ vanced thought in other fields, Edison almost buried the airplane, just after Kitty Hawk. He told reporters that the contraption could never have any practical value and would, at best, be nothing more than the toy of wealthy sportsmen. About two thousands years before the birth of Christ, man had already invented the wheel, something unknown in nature, and the sled became the wagon. In time, hand carts became horse-drawn chariots. But after that develop­ ment which greatly affected civilization, little technological progress was made until the time of George Washington. I read recently an interesting comparison of the situation of King Solomon with that of George Washington. Both men wore homespun clothing, both illuminated their houses with oil lamps, both heated with wood, both trav­ eled in horse-drawn vehicles. It was almost 50 years from the Wright Brothers’ flight until we learned to build an airplane that could fly faster than sound, at 700 miles per hour. But little more than a decade was required to go from that 700 miles an hour to 4,000 miles an hour in the X-15, and by 1959 we were reaching out beyond the earth’s atmosphere with space­ craft which could travel up to 25,000 miles an hour — fast enough to overcome the earth’s gravity and speed out into the solar system, never to return. The period of human development which lay between Kmg Solomon and George Washington covered almost 3,000 years. That between Washington and ourselves is hardly more than 150 years, but what a contrast in human progress. In 1939, Niels Bohr listed fifteen important reasons for his conviction that the atomic fission process would no have any practical application. Yet, in the same year’ Albert Einstein wrote his now historic letter to Presi en Roosevelt which read: Between the time of Washington and the beginning of our own century, a similiar situation prevailed. “Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manusenp , leads me to expect that the element uranium my be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future. “This new phenomenon could also lead to the ^teironnirleS-N™Old’ °f Philade,Phia.

Dr. Robert Goddard, the father of the modern rocket, found little enthusiasm for his assertion that “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of to­ morrow.” Rockets became the symbol to many of im­ practical ideas and grandiose schemes, and Goddard and other rocket pioneers inherited the mantle of ridicule worn by the Wrights, Langley, and the other airplane pioneers. technology and the very large research and developi effort associated with it. One of the problems of our highly developed science technology, and the automation which it is bringin business and industry, is that of finding an outlet foi human energy which new machines and power soi have displaced. When you consider that the energy embodied in one | of matter corresponds to the normal annual outpi fourteen thousand human beings; when you view effects of automation on our requirements for hi energy, it is evident that man’s own energy must be to use in new ways for the benefit of mankind. If you find the recollection of these facts startling, it is because most of us rarely stop to think how new every­ thing which we call technology actually is. Heinz Gartmann has suggested that this is because “in time as well as space there is a psychological effect which we may call foreshortening due to perspective. Events of the past millennia lying hundreds of years apart appear to us virtually contemporaneous.” The solution to this problem lies not in reducing number of hours in which we make a constructive tribution to human progress, and diverting human er to non-productive purposes. It lies rather in finding areas in which man can expend his energy for his benefit, and that of his fellow human beings. Thus, to someone who is alive 4,000 years from now, in 5962, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein will prob­ ably appear as belonging to the same period of human development. But what does all of this mean to you? How will it affect your lives and your careers? Let me state it again. Change, and the rate of change, will be the dominant feature of your existence. This is among the reasons why our present and f efforts in space are so important to all of us. Just a United States government’s first venture into scie exploration — the Lewis and Clark expedition — le the opening of the West and created a new frontier fc young people of that day, so are our government’s a ties in science and technology today opening a frontier for our college graduates of this and the co years. Change means different things to different people. To some it means an uncomfortable uprooting of a settled existence. To others it may mean disillusionment and despair. To still others —and this is the group in which you can place yourselves — it means progress and opportunity. The extent to which you and your contemporaries benefit from this new science and technology', the extt which you will participate in reaping the harvest of research and exploration, will depend largely upoi extent to which you prepare yourselves to take adva of it. This is a contrast, I know, which I scarcely need make in 1962 for an audience in this part of our country. Some of your families and friends have, I know, been victims of change. But just as the sons of wagonmakers found new careers in the manufacture of automobiles, so will the sons and daughters of Pennsylvania coal miners find opportunities in developments stemming from science and You have had the opportunity, during your eleme and secondary education, and during your four ye: undergraduate work at Wilkes College, to lay the gr 5 4 �many graduation memoranda ent to members of the graduating cully and the administration.

Dr. Robert Goddard, the father of the modern rocket, found little enthusiasm for his assertion that “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of to­ morrow.” Rockets became the symbol to many of im­ practical ideas and grandiose schemes, and Goddard and other rocket pioneers inherited the mantle of ridicule worn by the Wrights, Langley, and the other airplane pioneers. technology and the very large research and development effort associated with it. One of the problems of our highly developed science and technology, and the automation which it is bringing to business and industry, is that of finding an outlet for the human energy which new machines and power sources have displaced. When you consider that the energy embodied in one gram of matter corresponds to the normal annual output of fourteen thousand human beings; when you view the effects of automation on our requirements for human energy, it is evident that man’s own energy must be put to use in new ways for the benefit of mankind. If you find the recollection of these facts startling, it is because most of us rarely stop to think how new every­ thing which we call technology actually is. Heinz Gartmann has suggested that this is because “in time as well as space there is a psychological effect which we may call foreshortening due to perspective. Events of the past millennia lying hundreds of years apart appear to us virtually contemporaneous.” The solution to this problem lies not in reducing the number of hours in which we make a constructive con­ tribution to human progress, and diverting human energy to non-productive purposes. It lies rather in finding new areas in which man can expend his energy for his own benefit, and that of his fellow human beings. Thus, to someone who is alive 4,000 years from now, in 5962, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein will prob­ ably appear as belonging to the same period of human development. But what does all of this mean to you? How will it affect your lives and your careers? Let me state it again. Change, and the rate of change, will be the dominant feature of your existence. This is among the reasons why our present and future efforts in space are so important to all of us. Just as the United States government’s first venture into scientific exploration — the Lewis and Clark expedition — led to the opening of the West and created a new frontier for the young people of that day, so are our government’s activi­ ties in science and technology today opening a new frontier for our college graduates of this and the coming years. Change means different things to different people. To some it means an uncomfortable uprooting of a settled existence. To others it may mean disillusionment and despair. To still others — and this is the group in which you can place yourselves — it means progress and opportunity. The extent to which you and your contemporaries will benefit from this new science and technology, the extent to which you will participate in reaping the harvest of space research and exploration, will depend largely upon the extent to which you prepare yourselves to take advantage of it. This is a contrast, I know, which I scarcely need make in 1962 for an audience in this part of our country. Some of your families and friends have, I know, been victims of change. But just as the sons of wagonmakers found new careers in the manufacture of automobiles, so will the sons and daughters of Pennsylvania coal miners find opportunities in developments stemming from science and You have had the opportunity, during your elementary and secondary education, and during your four years of undergraduate work at Wilkes College, to lay the ground- 5 4 �the Crystal Ballroom of Hotel Sterling the graduating gathered for .7.

You have the opportunity, if you choose, to continue that education and acquire the more detailed and refined knowledge which graduate education can provide, or to venture immediately into fields of business and industrial activity which will provide you with the kind of experience which will enable you to cope with a fast-paced modem world. The missions of Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, and Carpenter were the product of years of research and development involving literally thousands of scientists and engineers with the training, the knowledge and the imagination to venture successfully into the unknown. Yet, complex as these missions were, and demanding on the talents of those responsible for the effort, Project Mercury and its spacecraft will, within this decade — perhaps within a year — become outmoded. In either event, the space age offers opportunity for you. You have space in which to grow. I often feel that the more glamorous aspects of the space program — the dramatic features of manned space flight — have a tendency to overshadow the basic and fundamental purposes of the space effort in which we are engaged. Just as the moon has influenced the course of young lovers for centuries, so has the excitement of lunar ex­ ploration blinded many to the more immediate and farreaching benefits and influences which the conquest of space will provide. Journeys into space and voyages to the moon are and will be thrilling human experiences. But we cannot all be astronauts.

Yet millions have benefited from their activities, and contributed to the growth of the aeronautics industry as passengers, or in the design, construction, supply and maintenance of planes, or in the countless service industries which have developed because of them. Similarly, it is unlikely that many persons alive today will have the opportunity to serve as astronauts, but it is certain that the knowledge gained in space research and technology will affect us all.

The vehicles in our scientific satellite program perform scores of experiments aimed at adding to our basic know­ ledge of the earth, the moon, the sun, the entire universe. Their investigations may be defined in four major categories: lower ionosphere, after sunset, which makes it possible for your radio to receive the reflected signals of many distant radio stations which you cannot receive during the day. In the second category of scientific investigation, that of viewing the earth from above, significant findings have been made in weather research. First, they investigate the region in the vicinity of the space vehicle. Second, they study the earth by viewing it from above. The star performers in the weather field have been the TIROS satellites, which, along with the Echo balloon, are probably the best known of our unmanned satellites. TIROS has provided thousands of photographs of the earth’s cloud cover which have provided useful information not available from ground based meteorological stations which cover a relatively small percentage of the surface of the earth. Third, they examine the radiation from the sun, planets, and stars before it passes through the earth’s atmosphere. Finally, they yield information which will facilitate the manned exploration of the moon and the planets. The final category lies largely in the future, but much useful information has already been obtained from the first three. Because most of this knowledge is in the field of basic science, and highly technical, it has not received the popular attention accorded to manned space flight. Yet, this basic knowledge is the raw material on which a developing technology feeds, and consequently is of vital importance to all of us. The broader coverage provided by TIROS has enabled meteorologists to discover and track hurricanes and ty­ phoons before they were detected by ground stations. Hurricane Esther, for example, was spotted by TIROS three days before it was picked up by other means. TIROS is also providing weather researchers with im­ portant facts regarding the mechanics of the transfer of the sun’s energy to the earth; how much is absorbed, how much is reflected, and how the local weather is affected by the variations in the rate of absorption and reflection. The area of sun-earth relationships promises to be one of the most exciting and fruitful areas of space research, and is one on which we have made the most progress to date. Preliminary results hint at the interrelation that exists between the sun and what goes on in the earth’s upper atmosphere, and scientists speculate that this effect eventually influences variations in our weather. What have we learned from our scientific investiga­ tions in space? In the first category which I have outlined, that of in­ vestigating the region traveled by space vehicles, we have the discovery, in 1958, of the Van Allen radiation belts, a region of charged particles which surrounds the earth. Significant discoveries in this first category have also been made in the measurement of magnetic fields, atmospheric density, micrometeorites, and the properties of the iono­ sphere. In the latter case, sounding rockets made it possible for the first time to measure directly the proper­ ties of the ionosphere, a region surrounding the earth that contains a high concentration of free electrons that re­ flects radio waves. Later satellite observations have made a continuing contribution to this knowledge. One objective of our scientific investigations is a more detailed, quantitative understanding of the physical phenomena involved. It has been predicted that some day in the future the understanding of this sun-earth inter­ relationship will have a direct impact upon our daily lives. It is a decrease in the absorption of radio waves by the 7 6 �Each graduating class looks fan picnic at the Beaumont farm of where both Dr. and Mrs. Farle' This year was no exception. One as many did. After the buffet, the class gathered for its last official meeting, when Joe Shambe, class presi­ dent. addressed the group and conducted election of permanent officers and trustees. / $ One of our satellites has produced information that casts doubt on some aspects of one of the major theories of the origin of the universe. This version of the theory, called the steady state theory, includes an assumption that matter and anti-matter are being created continuously in space at a slow rate. We have also observed, from studying the orbit of the Echo balloon, the changes in the orbit caused by solar radiation pressure and by atmospheric density variations induced by solar flares. Studies of Vanguard I, still in orbit after more than four years, have also enabled the solar physicist to deduce something about radiation pressure from the sun; the upper atmosphere physicist to derive the temperatures and composition of the atmosphere at extreme altitudes and the influence of the sun on these characteristics; and the geologist to make deductions about the earth’s crust. Before a malfunction occurred in the spin-control system of this satellite on May 22, OSO had transmitted useful information through 1,138 orbits. Its highly advanced sun-sensing instruments kept instruments pointed toward the sun through each of these orbits, even though they lost contact with the sun every time the satellite passed behind the earth. The degree of accuracy involved was equivalent to scoring unerring bull’s-eyes with a rifle aimed at a 216 foot balloon at a distance of one mile. If this aspect of the theory were correct, the physicists tell us that there would have to be a sort of static condition of gamma rays throughout space. The Explorer XI satel­ lite, launched by NASA last year, carried instruments to detect gamma rays, and test this theory. But in nine hours of observation, the Explorer XI observed gamma ray messengers at a rate far below what would be expected if the steady state theory were correct; information which poses another new challenge for the scientists. Geodetic work in our space research has been equally interesting. School children were long taught that Colum­ bus proved, in 1492, that the world is round. Scientists have considered it an oblate spheroid. It remained for the geodetic measurements taken in Project Vanguard to indicate that Columbus was wrong, and that the earth is really slightly pear-shaped. Observations from high altitude rockets of ultraviolet radiations from various stars have upset a previously exist­ ing theory and indicate that the rate of energy release from hot young stars is much lower than had been sup­ posed. This rate of energy release is an indicator of the process of development of a star, and our experimental results seem to imply that our present theories of stellar evolution, or the life cycle of stars, is incorrect. The third category of scientific investigation in space, that of studying the sun, planets, and stars from beyond the earth’s atmosphere, has challenged many previously exist­ ing theories. Data from such spacecraft as Pioneer V, Explorer X, and Explorer XII have produced information regarding solar flares which, while far from conclusive, is of great interest to those who are planning future manned space flight missions. The measurements taken are being used to design the protection which a man will need from ex­ posure to energetic particles - electrons, protons, and neutrons — while traveling in space. Dr. Harry Goett, Director of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, commented recently that this information had, in a sense, sent the astrophysicists back to their drawing boards, reminding him of a pertinent quotation: Our scientists believe that, at least for a trip to the moon, a man can be adequately protected from all but the most extreme events. One objective of our solar studies is to devise a way of predicting when a major event, or solar flare, will occur. If we succeed in this, manned space shots will be timed to avoid these events, as an aircraft would avoid a severe thunderstorm which turned up on its radar. The satellite with which we have studied the sun is the Orbiting Solar Observatory, which was launched from Cape Canaveral last March 7, and during eleven weeks of nearly perfect operation transmitted almost 1,000 hours of scientific information on solar phenomena.

Fortunately, this is not happening. It has been correctly said that space science is only science performed in space. The acceleration of research and development in the space field has heightened appreciation of the importance of research in other fields, as well, with an accompanying increase in expenditures for those purposes. Our space program, thus, is not being carried on at the expense of progress in other research fields, but actually has served as a stimulus for them. This is as it should be, for the program of space exploration must be an integral part of a balanced national effort in all fields of human knowledge. Our free society is dependent upon the successful inte­ gration of the new physical sciences and technologies into our political, economic, social, and educational, as well as national security systems. The value of these discoveries is not limited to space research and technology. Many of them have practical applications in our daily lives, and are already having their effect on the way we live. It is from discoveries in this area that we may look forward to the establishment of many new industries, and of new products for manufacture by industries which already exist.

Congratulations and good luck. Mrs. Farley, together with her hus­ band and Admiral Stark, watch the proceedings of the press conference. In advanced graduate education, the National Science Foundation reports that the Soviet production of candidate degree holders, roughly equivalent to the American Ph.D., is about the same, 8,500 per annum, as in the United States. But 75 percent of the degrees were awarded in the sciences and engineering, compared with 55 percent in our country. Similarly, just as the non-sc:entist student should have a basic understanding of science and technology as they affect society, so should the science or engineering major be afforded the opportunity to develop an appreciation of the social sciences, arts, and humanities. Narrow con­ centration of study within any field of knowledge tends to beget a student and a person without the understanding required for a full and responsible life. Our colleges and universities, whether or not they offer it themselves, must continue to place more emphasis upon advanced study by college graduates and particularily upon graduate education in science and technology. To you, who are graduating today, graduate study offers a field of very large opportunity for important service and a full and rich life. It is in this respect, perhaps, except for its vastly greater emphasis upon scientific and technical education, that the Soviet educational system differs in greatest degree from our own. There is little in the educational system of the Soviet Union that corresponds to the American university liberal arts program. The extent of the orientation of Soviet higher education toward science and technology is measured by the fact that about 57 percent of all 1959 graduates at the bachelor degree level were in engineering, sciences, and selected applied science fields, compared with 24 percent in the United States. The professional instruction provided these graduates, although extensive in fundamentals of science and engineering, was found to be directed toward narrowly defined specialties with the main purpose of equipping the individual student to per­ form a specific job. I would hope also that our colleges and universities, in increasing degree, would associate research activities and graduate education wherever possible. This creates prob­ lems, of course, for some great teachers are equally emi­ nent research people, but other notable scientists have little to do with teaching. Universities which receive grants or contracts from government and industry often assign research projects to eminent and capable scientists who occupy themselves fully with achieving desired technical objectives, leaving little or no time for teaching. Yet it must be said that in the long run it is dangerous to separate research in any field of knowledge entirely from education. Obviously, the objective should be the attainment of a truly scholarly environment of inquiry, learning, and teaching. Yet, we should not minimize the fact that, with only half as many higher education graduates as the United States, the Soviet Union has a greater number of professionals in scientific, engineering, and other applied science fields, and the Soviet rate of growth in these fields is more than twice that of the United States.

Nor does it take an M.I.T. or a California Institute of Technology to contribute toward such a goal. A college such as Wilkes, for example, has a great opportunity to contribute to the advancement of science, even though this contribution involves only the contribution of a single man or group, working on a single specific problem. While we produce about 90,000 engineering, science, and applied science graduates each year, the Soviet Union’s production is currently 190,000. Projections indicate that during this decade the Soviet rate will reach 250,000 a year, more than twice the anticipated rate for the United States. An ancient Chinese philosopher, expressing his hopes for the young people of his generation, stated them with profound simplicity. He said: 10 11 �“Muy y°u ^ue interesting times.” “The American, by nature, is optimistic.

You do live in interesting times. But more than this — and unlike most of the descendants of that Chinese philosopher — you have the advantages of participating in these interesting times as Americans — a privilege which you must not underestimate or overlook. What being an American means in an age such as this was expressed with great clarity by President Kennedy in I960, when he wrote: ■c the class clous ways, review the delivered tvious day, . . . or enjoy pleasantries with your hostess. non-scientist student should have a if science and technology as they Id the science or engineering major tunity to develop an appreciation arts, and humanities.

May you also have the will to believe in yourselves, and the imagination and the initiative to benefit from and contribute to the age of science and technology in which we live. Congratulations and good luck. Mrs. Farley, together with her hus­ band and Admiral Stark, watch the proceedings of the press conference. In advanced graduate education, the National Science Foundation reports that the Soviet production of candidate degree holders, roughly equivalent to the American Ph.D., is about the same, 8,500 per annum, as in the United States. But 75 percent of the degrees were awarded in the sciences and engineering, compared with 55 percent in our country. Our colleges and universities, whether or not they offer it themselves, must continue to place more emphasis upon advanced study by college graduates and particularily upon graduate education in science and technology.

Ripley Associate Professor of Physics Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dr. Farley, fellow-travellers of Wilkes College, and guests. The diagnosis of this sense of despair has been undertaken by many and I shall pause to mention only three under­ lying reasons in order to give structure to the sequel of my thoughts. I suppose every member of this faculty resorts occasionally to an old trick when he needs time to think of how to answer some puzzling question. He points to a student and says, “Mr. Craven, will you volunteer to give an answer.” Well, Dr. Farley pulled the same trick on me. When he could find no one else, he casually accosted me one day on the campus and with his inexorable finger pointing at me asked: “Ripley, will you volunteer to give the Baccalaureate address?” First, there is the collapse of those bright hopes which arose with the 18th century rationalists and extended through the 19th century, arising out of the birth of modern science in the Renaissance. When Galileo and Newton found an order in nature that could be under­ stood, they gave birth to this new hope. Nature at last could be understood — its basic structure could be dis­ covered and made intelligible. The immutable laws of nature could be found. Surely the same method could be used to establish the natural laws of social organization. Optimistically, men approached the challenge. Our Declaration of Independence stemmed from this optimism: The phrase "the laws of nature and of nature’s God” is central in that document. A new principle of government was established — government of, by, and for the people, created equal, independent, and rational. Progress could be assured by a social system, guaranteeing equality and freedom, and working through the principle of rational economic self-interest. The heavenly city could be established on earth. Alas, the dream was not easily fulfilled. Squalor, ugliness, cruelty, and wretchedness continued. I shall not enter into any analysis of why the breakdown of the competitive and free society took place. But in the 20th century, we became convinced that the old economic and political order had to be overhauled. Furthermore, since Freud’s discovery of the unconscious, we are now aware that men do not even behave rationally. If any social system is to work more will be required than a simple appeal to reason and self-interest. But a satisfactory system has not yet been developed. The second element of our contemporary anxiety I need only mention, since we are all so profoundly aware of it it is the present international situation with the possibility of nuclear war hanging over us, and a recognition that the old international diplomacies exemplified in Kipling s Among some faculties there is a device by which the professors enable themselves to stay awake through these occasions.

They are all subject to modification and reinterpretation. phrase: “taking up the White man’s burden” has ended in massacre of women and children in Algiers. The old order is rejected, but a new international order has not come into being. The third, and perhaps in the long run, the most im­ portant, although also the most indirect factor leading to a sense of insecurity finds its origin in the modern scientific revolution. It is a scientific revolution which is having as great an impact on the thinking and hence on social organization and values as did the Copernican revolution of four centuries ago. Darwin, Freud, and Einstein symbolize this revolution. Each has made us look further beyond appearances and question the nature of man’s creation, the nature of man’s inner self, and the nature of man’s understanding of the physical universe in which he lives. I will attend only to the third of these. What is the relationship between these observations on science and the problem of meaninglessness in our general thinking? Science and scientific thought does not con­ tinue on its path unrelated to other aspects of culture. If the doctrine of absolute truth is abandoned in science, so it has become abandoned in many other areas. This has its good side as well as its dangers. We are today much more tolerant of the basic beliefs of other cultures and their alternative theories of social organization than we were in the past. And many of us feel that just as the scientific laws of our forefathers must be continuously reinterpreted and re-evaluated, so likewise must our political traditions, our ethical standards, yes, even our religions. The God of Moses — stern, jealous, dominat­ ing — was once reinterpreted by Christ. The concept of God is being reinterpreted by modern men, such as Tillich or Schweitzer or the Pope. But this poses a dilemma. If absolute truth cannot be reached in science or ethics or religion, does that not raise the problem of whether there is any core of meaning to cling to, any certainty to grasp, any tradition to accept or to follow? You are all more or less familiar with Einstein’s general conception. I wish to emphasize today one of the con­ sequences which has brought about a significant reorien­ tation of scientific thought. I have said that the scientists of the 18th and 19th centuries believed that there was a single, unique, intelligible structure to the universe. The work of the scientist was to find this and to approach closer and closer to the absolute truth. Find the basic propositions and the basic laws and these would constitute the absolute truth, reflecting the operation of God in the universe. Some of these basic propositions might indeed be quite complicated, such as Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and might not be quite as self-evident as the earlier scientists hoped. But they were there — basic propositions and laws ruling the universe. All that was needed was to discover them. It would be quite absurd to propound an easy answer. I shall continue only to make some comments and suggest certain questions which you might pursue related, I hope, to what you have learned in college. Allow me to use a very loose analogy — that which sug­ gested my title, "While Gyroscopes Go Hunting.” You are all familiar with servo-mechanisms, those intricate devices often involving gyroscopes, which serve to control and to guide planes, ships, or missiles. A course is set and the servo-mechanisms keep the travelling object on course. Often because of variations in the surroundings, the object deviates from its course; the mechanism then As you know, the modern scientist is not so ambitious. He is still convinced that there is order in the universe, or he could not operate at all, but he is willing to recog­ nize that any theory developed today is a tentative one and that there are alternative modes for describing the structure. It is possible, for example, that non-Euclidean 14 brings it back. In the operation, however, there are apt to be oscillations about the predetermined direction. These oscillations are termed “hunting” and are similar in a way to a hunting animal following the scent or spoor of the prey. The hunter in his search pursues his course but oscillates about it. formulating and reformulating your goals i little prescribing.

Our civilization is articulated in an extremely complicated fashion and requires certain mechanisms to preserve its continuity. Among these mechanisms are those of tradi­ tion, of laws, and of conventions. It is the responsibility of governments, schools, parents, and teachers to prevent the inevitable oscillations from becoming so violent or so unstable that society collapses. So much, so good! Now let us ask the two questions: Who maintains the mechanism and who determines the course or the goals? What is the individual’s role in these determinations? Ask the large personal questions again and am I?” "What is man?” “What is God meant by the good, the true, and the beaut: am I going in life and why?” Ask also the social questions: “In what sen equal?" “What is meant by loving my brc love of my country mean hatred of other This is an age of the quick slogan and t the shortcuts to thinking.

In Goethe’s words: “What thou hast i thy fathers, acquire it to make it thine, up to the religious, political, and scientific questions and to formulate answers - it But I wish to concentrate on the second problem.

But I mention one good starting point which I believe in, as I think do all of us who are members of this liberal arts college, namely, ask questions and continue to ask them and continue to wonder. If you cease to question and cease to wonder, it is likely that you will cease to be interested in your own meaning and become lost in mechanical routines.

Ask the large personal questions again and again: “What am I?” “What is man?” “What is God?” “What is meant by the good, the true, and the beautiful?” “Where am I going in life and why?” Ask also the social questions: “In what sense are all men equal?” “What is meant by loving my brother?” “Does love of my country mean hatred of other countries?” This is an age of the quick slogan and the catchword, the shortcuts to thinking. Note the word “image.” We are told to keep the image of America clear. Are you or I or America nothing but a collection of shallow tricky mirrors reflecting what people would like to see? or only what we would like them to see? Some of you may play a large role in maintaining or even overhauling the mechanisms — in keeping the oscillations within proper bounds. All of you as citizens will play some role in this, since the proper working of this mecha­ nism in a democracy depends upon the judgment of all mature citizens expressed in the polls or through public opinion. And formulate your own answers on the basis of your own experience and thought, not just on the basis of slogans or of authority. Let go the familiar and the se­ cure. In Goethe’s words: “What thou hast inherited from thy fathers, acquire it to make it thine.” It is not only up to the religious, political, and scientific leaders to ask questions and to formulate answers - it is up to you! But I wish to concentrate on the second problem. What determines the aim and the goal? This I feel is both a co active and individual responsibility equal in importance o at of maintaining the mechanism itself, although both e c osely related and affect one another.

It is time to close ranks and obey the old tested authori­ ties. Just last week at commencement exercises in a local college, the advice was given to the effect, do not expose yourself to the danger of losing your faith. And Billy Graham is touring the world rather pathetically, it seems to me, asking us to return without further question to the literal Biblical injunctions. But I hold, as I believe many on this faculty do and legions of scholars and scientists, philosophers, and re­ ligious thinkers throughout history do, that to ask a ques­ tion seriously is an act of affirmation. It implies the possibility of some answer, some guide to action. What is the scientific experiment but a question posed to nature? Every question is an appeal to experience in the broadest sense. It forces you to evaluate and extend your ex­ perience. A question can have a rational justification if you have a metaphysics which assures you there is mean­ ingful experience to appeal to. It aims at a way of under­ standing and predicting the future, and this presupposes some basis of knowledge or some assumption that there is a future, subject to some kind of determinism. To ask and to seek answers meaningful to you is an affirm­ ative act which may cause some anxiety but this is better than finding a zero at the center of your life. Of course, there exist temporary conflicts between the teachings of religious authorities, political authorities, scientific authorities, and the authority of group mores >■ ■ and conventions. Each must be continuously re-evaluated by you. But each discipline, if I am not mistaken, is based upon the conviction of some unity in the universe. Lest I appear to be too disrespectful of religious authori­ ties, may I quote from Pope Pius XII’s address to students at the University of Paris in 1953: “In your studies and scientific research, rest assured that no contradiction is possible between the certain truths of faith and established scientific facts. Nature, no less than revelation, proceeds from God, and God cannot contradict Himself.” As a student of science, I should have phrased this differ­ ently, but the essential meaning is clear, it is approval of a constant search for explanation and understanding of all nature, social, material, and spiritual. “And the truth shall make you free” — not the absolute truth, not the truth handed down to you on a platter from authorities of your church, your government, your college, or your parents, but those tentative truths you develop inside yourself as you relate to others through your work and through your love. Buddha’s last injunction was: “Believe nothing on hearsay. Do not believe in traditions because they are old, or in anything on the mere authority of myself or any other teacher.” It is only thus, I believe, that while the gyroscopes go hunting, you will become aware of your own destiny and help in your small way to clarify the destiny of mankind. t.. t. . 16 .\ • ’• �WILKES COLLEGE i dance, honoring the the American Legion Street.

Each must be continuously re-evaluated by you. But each discipline, if I am not mistaken, is based upon the conviction of some unity in the universe. Lest I appear to be too disrespectful of religious authori­ ties, may I quote from Pope Pius XII’s address to students at the University of Paris in 1953: “In your studies and scientific research, rest assured that no contradiction is possible between the certain truths of faith and established scientific facts. Nature, no less than revelation, proceeds from God, and God cannot contradict Himself.” As a student of science, I should have phrased this differ­ ently, but the essential meaning is clear, it is approval of a constant search for explanation and understanding of all nature, social, material, and spiritual. “And the truth shall make you free” — not the absolute truth, not the truth handed down to you on a platter from authorities of your church, your government, your college, or your parents, but those tentative truths you develop inside yourself as you relate to others through your work and through your love. Buddha’s last injunction was: “Believe nothing on hearsay. Do not believe in traditions because they are old, or in anything on the mere authority of myself or any other teacher.” It is only thus, I believe, that while the gyroscopes go hunting, you will become aware of your own destiny and help in your small way to clarify the destiny of mankind.

Annual Homecoming Plans for the 15th Annual Homecoming of Wilkes College Alumni are nearing completion. Russell Williams, ’50, President of our Association, and the Executive Committee have, announced that all Homecoming activities will be held at the Host Motel in Wilkes-Barre. Spacious facilities and excellent parking accommodations are provided at the Host. Committees appointed for Homecoming (October 12 - 13) are as follows: Attorney Eugene Roth, '57, General Chairman; Paul A. Klein, ’60, and Attorney Gifford Cappellim, 45, Co-Chairmen. Co-Chairmen for the Warm-up Party to be held in the Alexander Room of the Host Motel are: Dr. Carl Urbanski, ’57, and Dr. Frank Gazda, ’59. Beverly Hiscox, ’58, and Lloyd Davies, ’47, are Co-Chairmen for the Annual Alumni Dance to be held Saturday evening in the spacious Dorian Room at the Host. The Judging Committee for dor­ mitory displays is headed by T. R. Price, ’56. On Saturday evening, the classes of ’37, ’42, ’47, ’52, and ’57 will hold a combined reunion dinner in the Alexander Room. Attorney John Doran, ’57, will act as Toastmaster, and Dr. Farley and Mrs. Farley will be guests of the “reuning” classes. Last year approximately 650 alumni returned to Wilkes for the Annual Homecoming. Each year, attendance at this annual event increases, and this year we are looking forward to a record turn­ out. Plans for this year’s Homecoming have been formulated well in advance so as to give all alumni an opportunity to reserve these dates and to plan to attend the festivities. Make your plans NOW! Bring a guest! Have a great time seeing and talking with your “ol pals.” Reservations from alumni from the “reuning” classes will be accepted as soon as final arrange­ ments have been completed. Your Alumni Office will contact each member of these classes in late August. Plan to attend! Wilkes College Theater Alumni will present a Kum-Bak Musical on Friday evening, October 12. Curtain time 8:15 p.m. Alumni who were active as students in the Theater are already rehearsing for the show which has as its setting - Wilkes College and the acquisition of a Fine Arts Building. From all reports, this Kum-Bak Musical should be a delightful show. Alumni are urged to attend and to support the Theater at Wilkes College.

THE FIRST DINNER-SEMINAR A TRIUMPH AS 182 ALUMNI PACK COMMONS Dr. Farley Presents "A Chronology of Progress" — Predicts Great Future for College Winter was fast expending itself on Saturday eve­ ning, March 31, as sharp blasts of wind blew swirling pockets of rain into the faces of almost two hundred alumni who came from far and near to attend the first alumni dinner-seminar in The Commons. They came as guests of Dr. Farley to hear him review the progress of the College over the past twenty-five years and to hear him discuss plans for the immedi­ ate future. And they were both amazed at this progress and proud of their Alma Mater. The dinner-seminar idea is something new with the alumni association, although it has been dis­ cussed for some time by its officers. With alumni rolls growing steadily, the urge was strong with many alumni to create some potent, cohesive force— some catalyst— to help unify and strengthen the alumni body. The seminar-dinner is the result. Experimenters with common gray mold little dreamed what effect their discovery of penicillin would have. The March 31 affair was a triumph in that all but three alumni who signified their intention to attend failed to appear. With the success of the initial attempt still ringing, plans are now being prepared for future assemblies of this nature. When the time arrives, invitations will be extended to all alumni chapters in the hope that, given ample time, alumni from greater distances will be able to make arrange­ ments to revisit the College and keep in touch with its steady march of progress. The story has been told of Disraeli, Prime Minister of England at the time, visiting the labo­ ratory of Faraday, one of the early experimenters with basic electrical principles. After viewing various demonstrations of electrical phenomena, Disraeli asked: “But of what possible use is it?” Faraday replied: “Mr. Prime Minister, what good is a baby?” If the returning alumni expected to hear something special from Dr. Farley, they were not disappointed; for at the very outset of his informal talk, he an- But questions are sometimes raised regarding the immediate payoffs from our efforts.

Later in the evening, Gordon E. Roberts, executive alumni secretary, amp ., the information by stating the new building would be erected on a lot adjacent to Temple Israel, 236 South River Street. The Fine Arts Building is only one of seven projects proposed for the next five years and based upon the Federal Aid to Education Program. Cost of the projects is listed at $5,130,000 with Federal Aid totaling $2,570,000. Of this amount, $1,702,000 is listed as grants and $868,000 as loans. College share is shown at $2,560,000. (“A Chronology of Progress,” distributed at the March 31 meeting, is reproduced in tote at the conclusion of this article.) The total cost of the Fine Arts Building is listed at $550,000. In reviewing “The Chronology of Progress,” Dr. Farley showed the Federal grant to be $246,000, Federal loan of $164,000 and $140,000 as the share of the College. Alfred Groh has already been called in by the President to suggest plans. On the night of the dinner, Dr. Farley mentioned that hope was high that the Area Redevelopment Administration would approve the application of the College for a Federal grant for a scientific research center, and on April 5, the Federal agency reported this was approved to the extent of $400,000. The center will be designed to aid in operation and ex­ pansion of electrical, electronic and chemical in­ dustries already in the area and to attract new and expanding industries at the same time. The College will invest another $100,000 in the project for equip­ ment. Dr. Farley said it is hoped the Fine Arts Building, Research and Graduate Centers will be constructed and operating within one and one-half years. Other construction announced was a $1,100,000 dormitory to be erected on Wright Street, $280,000 dining hall, and a quarter million volume library. The College’s share was listed at $720,000, with Federal grants totaling $1,056,000. Of the College’s share, $100,0000 was allotted for furnishings and equipment. Another $200,000 was listed for land with $1,000,000 for endowment to provide income to match the six per cent charge on the Federal loan. In his talk before the alumni, Dr. Farley said, “Only an intelligent and informed people can combat the extremism of communism and fascism. Thanks to a dedicated faculty and a dedicated board of trustees, Wilkes College is nurturing and developing such intelligence in the minds of its students.” 4 He revealed that during the last 10 years Wilk College trustees had contributed $2,000,000 and that “today, we can look forward to advancement w dared not envision a few years ago.” Dr. Farley emphasized the fact that while the College is highly selective in accepting students it is not selective enough. He explained that long ago Wilkes could have expanded to a population of 2,000 had not the Admissions Board been highly selective. “Yet,” he said, “it is highly probable that we shall be forced to raise our college population to 1,600 -1,700 students by 1970.” He pointed out in 1936 less than 5 per cent of high school students matriculated in colleges. Today this percentage has reached 30. Reviewing the progress of Wilkes College chrono­ logically, Dr. Farley related when Wilkes was founded in 1933, “there was no college in WilkesBarre offering opportunities for self-development to the young people of the area. Instead there was a hopelessness arising from a world-wide depression, accentuated in Wilkes-Barre by the decline of the anthracite industry upon which its prosperity had been based. “In the years that have passed, the College has joined with others to create a new economy and a new community. With these changes, a new and stronger College has grown.” 7 A Chronology of Progress When Wilkes was founded in 1933, there was no college in Wilkes-Barre offering opportunities for self-dc ment to the young people of the area.

Yet Dr. Farley said selectivity has increased with this growth of enroll­ ment. In 1961, only 38 per cent of the applicants were admitted. In 1933, there were no buildings, no endowed book value, no plant or plant funds and no other assets. In March, 1962, there are 32 buildings, and endow­ ment book value of $1,951,532; plant and plant funds of $5,036,500, and other assets of $428,189. In other words, the net total of Wilkes College to­ day is $8,000,000. In 1936 the net total of the College showed a deficit of $7,000. Since then, friends of Wilkes College showed their willingness to cooperate to the extent of $5,000,000. Prior to Dr. Farley’s address to the alumni, RevThomas T. Williams, Wilkes College 1956, offered the invocation, after which the meeting got under way with a group of college songs directed by Richard Chapline, music department instructor. Following dinner, Russell H. Williams, ’50, advertis ing manager, Eberhard Faber, Inc.; President o Wilkes College Alumni Association, welcomed e guests. Mr. Roberts, then reviewed activities o the association.

He explained that 1 ago Willies could have expanded to a population11! 2,000 had not the Admissions Board been hi hi selective. “Yet,” he said, “it is highly probable that we shall be forced to raise our college ponulaf to 1,600-1,700 students by 1970.” U A Chronology of Progress He pointed out in 1936 less than 5 per cent of high school students matriculated in colleges. Toda this percentage has reached 30. Reviewing the progress of Wilkes College chrono­ logically, Dr. Farley related when Wilkes was founded in 1933, “there was no college in WilkesBarre offering opportunities for self-development to the young people of the area. Instead there was a hopelessness arising from a world-wide depression accentuated in Wilkes-Barre by the decline of the anthracite industry upon which its prosperity had been based. “In the years that have passed, the College has joined with others to create a new economy and a new community. With these changes, a new and stronger College has grown.” When Wilkes was founded in 1933, there was no college in Wilkes-Barre offering opportunities for self-develop­ ment to the young people of the area. Instead there was a hopelessness arising from a worldwide depression accentuated in Wilkes-Barre by the decline of the anthracite industry upon which its prosperity had been based. In the years that have passed, the College has joined with others to create a new economy — a new community, and with these changes, a new and stronger College has grown. The tables that follow show those developments that have been significant and which can be reported statistically.

Yet Dr. Farley said selectivity has increased with this growth of enroll­ ment. In 1961, only 38 per cent of the applicants were admitted. In 1933, there were no buildings, no endowed book value, no plant or plant funds and no other assets. In March, 1962, there are 32 buildings, and endow­ ment book value of $1,951,532; plant and plant funds of $5,036,500, and other assets of $428,189. In other words, the net total of Wilkes College to­ day is $8,000,000. In 1936 the net total of the College showed a deficit of $7,000. Since then, friends of Wilkes College showed their willingness to cooperate to the extent of $5,000,000. Prior to Dr. Farley’s address to the alumni, RevThomas T.

Y., Newark, N. J., Trenton, N. J., Harrisburg, Penna., Philadelphia, Penna., Scranton, Penna., WilkesBarre, Penna., Wilmington, Del., and Miami, Florida are the cities in which alumni of our College gathered to meet and to see each other once again, and to hear about Wilkes from a guest faculty member. Attendance by alumni is always excellent, and in­ terest in developments now taking place at Wilkes is at an all-time high. Attesting to this was the gathering of one hundred and eighty-five alumni for the first President’s Alumni Seminar which was held in March at the College Commons. These alumni came from throughout the eastern part of the United States to hear Dr. Farley outline the new and dynamic plans of our College. As Dr. Farley pointed out that evening, “Wilkes looks to its alumni now more than ever, for encouragement, for advice, and for financial support ...” Alumni interest at this meeting may be measured somewhat by the three and one-half hour meeting (actually, a two hour program was planned). Perhaps the most fitting and the most uttered expression by alumni that evening was, “It’s so good to come back to Wilkes.” Plans are now underway for the next seminar (next Spring). Your Alumni Association hopes eventually to extend an invitation to every Wilkes alumnus and alumna to these seminars. Wilkes, through our Alumni Association, has been in personal contact with approximately 850 alumni this past year. Homecoming, the President’s Alumni Seminar, and extensive Chapter meetings in various cities have brought the developments of the College to its loyal alumni. Won’t you plan to take ad­ vantage of these activities during the next year. Future meetings in the previously mentioned Chapter areas and in Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., and in the New England area are now being formulated for next year. When you receive notice of a chapter meeting, plan to attend; bring a guest and enjoy the warm fellowship of other Wilkes alumni. Hundreds of Wilkes alumni live in the areas already mentioned. It is always a delightful surprise to discover that so many Wilkes alumni live nearby. Renewal of old friendships, many new friendships, and mutual professional interests result from our chapter meetings. 8 Our appreciation is extended to Dr. and Mrs. Farley, Dr. Eugene Hammer, Dr. Stanko Vujica, Mr. George Ralston, Mr. Alfred Groh, Dr. Hugo Mailey, Mr. Arthur Hoover, Dr. Daniel Detwiler, Mr. Joseph Kanner, Mr. Welton Farrar, and Miss “Millie” Gittins for giving of their time and efforts to travel and to speak at chapter meetings. We hope that you have enjoyed the contents and the “new look” of the “Alumnus” during this past year. Only when we hear from you are we able to publish so much information about Wilkes Alumni. Keep in touch, and let us share with other alumni news about you, i.e., graduate work, professional accomplishments, marriage, and, of course, additions to your family, or should we say “future Wilkes alumni.” Plan now to attend HOMECOMING. The dates: OCTOBER 12-13. ', • -A « ■ -A' co LLE A of Alumni Urged To Act The Annual Scholarship Campaign for funds to assist able and deserving students at Wilkes is still in progress. Wilkes Alumni have a goal of $12,500 to reach as their part in the annual $100,000 campaign. As of this report, approximately $4,000 has been pledged by alumni toward our goal. Let each of us do his share by supporting this effort to provide scholarship assistance to students who are deserving of it and who, without financial assist­ ance, might not be able to obtain a college education. Friends of Wilkes have pledged or given outright gifts of $91,021 toward the over-all goal of $100,000. This places the successs of the campaign directly upon the willingness of Wilkes alumni to contribute toward achieving their goal which if done, will assure the successful completion of this annual appeal. The Alumni Office has been in direct contact with each alumnus and alumna in an effort to obtain the support which is needed. Reaching our goal is the individual responsibility of some 4,000 Wilkes alumni. We urge your support now. The smallest of gifts add up, and many of these will undoubtedly assure the success of this annual appeal. Won’t you send your contribution or pledge for this worthwhile effort now! Who will go to collegeWhat will they find? Who will teach them? Will they graduate?

Ml '■w ar We hope that you have enjoyed the contents and the “new look” of the “Alumnus” during this past year. Only when we hear from you are we able to publish so much information about Wilkes Alumni. Keep in touch, and let us share with other alumni news about you, i.e, graduate work, professional accomplishments, marriage, and, of course, additions to your family, or should we say “future Wilkes alumni.” thelai A Alumni Urged To Act The Annual Scholarship Campaign for funds to assist able and deserving students at Wilkes is still in progress. Let each of us do his share by supporting this effort to provide scholarship assistance to students who are deserving of it and who, without financial assist­ ance, might not be able to obtain a college education. Friends of Wilkes have pledged or given outright gifts of $91,021 toward the over-all goal of $100,000. This places the successs of the campaign directly upon the willingness of Wilkes alumni to contribute toward achieving their goal which if done, will assure the successful completion of this annual appeal. The Alumni Office has been in direct contact with each alumnus and alumna in an effort to obtain the support which is needed. Reaching our goal is the individual responsibility of some 4,000 Wilkes alumni. We urge your support now. The smallest of gifts add up, and many of these will undoubtedly assure the success of this annual appeal. Won’t you send your contribution or pledge for this worthwhile effort now! ,1 COLLEi Plan now to attend HOMECOMING. The dates: OCTOBER 12-13. Wilkes Alumni have a goal of $12,500 to reach as their part in the annual $100,000 campaign. As of this report, approximately $4,000 has been pledged by alumni toward our goal.

They came from wealthy families, middle­ income families, poor families; from all races, here and abroad; from virtually every religious faith. Over the next ten years, tlje number of students will grow enormously. Around 1964 the long-predicted tidal wave” of young people, bom in the postwar era and steadily moving upward through the nation’s school sys­ tems ever since, will engulf the college campuses. By 1970 the population between (the .hges pf 18 and 21—now around 10.2 million—will have grown to 14.6 million. College enrollment, now ‘less than'4 million, will be at least 6.4 million, and perhaps far more. The character of the student bodies will also have changed. More than half of the fulhtime students in the country’s four-year colleges afp already coming from lower-middle and Io\v income groups. With expanding scholarship, loan, anff self-help programs, this trend will continue strong. Non-white college students—who in the past decade have more than doubled in number and now compose about 7 per cent of the total enrollment—will continue to increase. (Non-whites formed 11.4 per cent of the U.S. population in the 1960 census.) The number of married students will grow. The average age of students will continue its recent rise. The sheer force of this great wave of students is enough to take one’s breath away. Against this force, what chance has American higher education to stand strong, to main­ tain standards, to improve quality, to keep sight of the individual student? And, as part of the gigantic population swell, what chances have your children? they are keenly aware of it. But for reasons of finance, of faculty limitations, of space, of philosophy, of function, of geographic location—or of a combination of these and other restrictions—they cannot grow. Many other institutions, public and private, are expand­ ing their enrollment capacities and will continue to do so: Private institutions: Currently, colleges and universities under independent auspices enroll around 1,500,000 students—some 40 per cent of the U.S. college popula­ tion. In the future, many privately supported institutions will grow, but slowly in comparison with publicly sup­ ported institutions. Thus the total number of students at private institutions will rise, but their percentage of the total college population will become smaller. Public institutions: State and locally supported colleges and universities are expanding their capacity steadily. In the years ahead they will carry by far the heaviest share of America’s growing student population. Despite their growth, many of them arc already feeling the strain of the burden. Many state institutions, once committed to accepting any resident with a high-school diploma, are now imposing entrance requirements upon applicants. Others, required by law or long tradition not to turn away any high-school graduate who applies, resort in desperation to a high flunk-out rate in the freshman year in order to whittle down their student bodies to manageable size. In other states, coordinated systems of higher education are being devised to accommodate there are some encouraging answers. At the same time, the intelligent parent will not ignore some danger signals. ' to both questions, FINDING ROOM FOR EVERYBODY not every college or university in the country is able to expand its student capacity. A number have concluded that, for one persuasive reason Or another, they must maintain their present enrollments. They are not blind to the need of American higher education, in the aggregate, to accommodate morestuderits in the years ahead;indeed, COPYRIGHT 1962 DY EDITORIAL PROJECTS TOR EDUCATION students of differing aptitudes, high-school academic records, and career goals. Two-year colleges: Growing at a faster rate than any other segment of U.S. higher education is a group com­ prising both public and independently supported institu­ tions: the two-year, or “junior,” colleges. Approximately 600 now exist in the United States, and experts estimate that an average of at least 20 per year will be established in the coming decade. More than 400 of the two-year institutions are community colleges, located within com­ muting distance of their students. These colleges provide three main services: education for students who will later transfer to four-year colleges or universities (studies show they often do as well as those who go directly from high school to a four-year institu­ tion, and sometimes better), terminal training for voca­ tions (more and more important as jobs require higher techmeal skills), and adult education and community cultural activities. Evidence of their importance: One out of every four students beginning higher education today does so in a two-year college. By 1975, the ratio is likely to be one in two. Branch campuses: To meet local demands for educa­ tional institutions, some state universities have opened branches in population centers distant from their main campuses. The trend is likely to continue. On occasion, however, the “branch campus” concept may conflict with the “community college” concept. In Ohio, for example, proponents of community two-year colleges are currently arguing that locally controlled community institutions are the best answer to the state’s college-enrollment prob­ lems. But Ohio State University, Ohio University, and Miami University, which operate off-campus centers and whose leaders advocate the establishment of more, say that taxpayers get better value at lower cost from a uni­ versity-run branch-campus system. Coordinated systems: To meet both present and future demands for higher education, a number of states are attempting to coordinate their existing colleges and universities and to lay long-range plans for developing new ones. California, a leader in such efforts, has a “master plan” involving not only the three main types of publicly sup­ ported institutions—the state university, state colleges, and locally sponsored two-year colleges. Private institu­ tions voluntarily take part in the master planning, also. With at least 661,000 students expected in their colleges and universities by 1975, Californians have worked out a plan under which every high-school graduate will be eligible to attend a junior college; the top one-third will be eligible for admission to a state college; and the top one-eighth will be eligible to go directly from high school to the University of California. The plan is flexible: stu­ dents who prove themselves in a junior college, for ILLUSTRATIONS BY PEGGY SOUCI example, may transfer to the university.

How will you—and they—find it? On the same day in late May of last year, 33,559 letters went out to young people who had applied for admission to the 1961 freshman class in one or more of the eight schools that compose the Ivy League. Of these letters, 20,248 were rejection notices. Not all of the 20,248 had been misguided in applying. Admissions officers testify that the quality of the 1961 ap­ plicants was higher than ever before, that the competition was therefore intense, and that many applicants who might have been welcomed in other years had to be turned away in ’61. Even so, as in years past, a number of the applicants had been the victims of bad advice—from parents, teachers, and friends. Had they applied to other institu­ tions, equally or better suited to their aptitudes and abilities, they would have been accepted gladly, avoiding the bitter disappointment, and the occasional tragedy, of a turndown. The Ivy League experience can be, and is, repeated in dozens of other colleges and universities every spring. Yet, while some institutions are rejecting more applica­ tions than they can accept, others (perhaps better qualified to meet the rejected students’ needs) still have openings in their freshman classes on registration day. Educators, both in the colleges and in the secondary schools, are aware of the problems in “marrying” the right students to the right colleges. An intensive effort is under way to relieve them. In the future, you may expect: > Better guidance by high-school counselors, based on �improved testing methods and on improved understanding of individual colleges and their offerings. > Better definitions, by individual colleges and univer­ sities, of their philosophies of admission, their criteria for choosing students, their strengths in meeting the needs of pprtain types of student and their weakness in meeting the needs of others. > Less parental pressure on their offspring to attend: the college or university that mother or father attended; the college or university that “everybody else’s children” are attending; the college or university that enjoys the greatest sports-page prestige, the greatest financial-page prestige, or the greatest society-page prestige in town. > More awareness that children are different from one another, that colleges are different from one another, and that a happy match of children and institutions is within the reach of any parent (and student) who takes the pains to pursue it intelligently. ► Exploration—but probably, in the near future, no widespread adoption—of a central clearing-house for col­ lege applications, with students stating their choices of colleges in preferential order and colleges similarly fisting their choices of students. The “clearing-house” would thereupon match students and institutions according to their preferences. Despite the likely growth of these practices, applying to college may well continue to be part-chaos, part-panic part-snobbishness for years to come. But with the aid of enlightened parents and educators, it will be less so, tomorrow, than it is today. 'y^That will they find in HE COLLEGE OF tomorrow—the one your children will find when they get in—is likely to differ from the college you knew in your days as a student. The students themselves will be different. Curricula will be different. Extracurricular activities will be different, in many respects, from what they were in your day. The college year, as well as the college day, may be different. Modes of study will be different. With one or two conspicuous exceptions, the changes will be for the better. But for better or for worse, changes there will be. THE NEW BREED OF STUDENTS IT WILL COME as news to no parents that their children are different from themselves. Academically, they are proving to be more serious than many of their predecessor generations. Too serious, some say. They enter college with an eye already set on the vocation they hope to pursue when they get out; college, to many, is simply the means to that end. Many students plan to marry as soon as they can afford to, and some even before they can afford to. They want families, homes, a fair amount of leisure, good jobs, security. They dream not of a far-distant future; today’s students are impatient to translate their dreams into reality, soon. Like most generalizations, these should be qualified. There will be students who are quite far from the average, and this is as it should be. But with international ten­ sions, recurrent war threats, military-service obligations, and talk of utter destruction of the race, the tendency is for the young to want to cram their lives full of living— with no unnecessary delays, please. At the moment, there is little likelihood that the urge to pace one’s life quickly and seriously will soon pass. This is the tempo the adult world has set for its young, and they will march doubletime to it. Economic backgrounds of students will continue to grow more diverse. In recent years, thanks to scholar­ ships, student loans, and the spectacular growth of public educational institutions, higher education has become less and less the exclusive province of the sons and daughters of the well-to-do. The spread of scholarship and loan programs geared to family income levels will in­ tensify this trend, not only in low-tuition public colleges and universities but in high-tuition private institutions. Students from foreign countries will flock to the U.S. for college education, barring a totally deteriorated interna­ tional situation. Last year 53,107 foreign students, from 143 countries and political areas, were enrolled in 1,666 American colleges and universities—almost a 10 per cent increase over the year before. Growing numbers of African and Asian students accounted for the rise; the growth is virtually certain to continue. The presence o such students on U.S. campuses—50 per cent of them are undergraduates—has already contributed to a greater international awareness on the part of American stu­ dents. The influence is bound to grow. Foreign study by U.S. students is increasing. In 1959-60, the most recent year reported, 15,306 were enrolled in 63 foreign countries, a 12 per cent increase in a period of 12 months. Students traveling abroad during summer vaca­ tions add impressive numbers to this total. WHAT THEY’LL STUDY studies are in the course of change, and the changes will affect your children. A new toughness in academic standards will reflect the great amount of knowledge that must be imparted in the college years. In the sciences, changes are particularly obvious. Every decade, writes Thomas Stelson of Carnegie Tech, 25 per cent of the curriculum must be abandoned, due to obsolescence. J. Robert Oppenheimer puts it another way: nearly everything now known in science, he says, “was not in any book when most of us went to school.” There will be differences in the social sciences and humanities, as well. Language instruction, now getting new emphasis, is an example. The use of language lab­ oratories, with tape recordings and other mechanical devices, is already popular and will spread. Schools once preoccupied almost entirely with science and technology (e.g., colleges of engineering, leading medical schools) have now integrated social and humanistic studies into their curricula, and the trend will spread to other institu­ tions. International emphasis also will grow. The big push will be related to nations and regions outside the Western World. For the first time on a large scale, the involvement fij J ray, I i of U.S. higher education will be truly global. This non­ Western orientation, says one college president (who is seconded by many others) is “the new frontier in Ameri­ can higher education.” For undergraduates, comparative studies in both the social sciences and the humanities are likely to be stressed. The hoped-for result: better under­ standing of the human experience in all cultures. Mechanics of teaching will improve. “Teaching ma■ chines” will be used more and more, as educators assess their value and versatility (see Who will teach them? on the following pages). Closed-circuit television will carry a lecturer’s voice and closeup views of his demonstrations to hundreds of students simultaneously. TV and microfilm will grow in usefulness as library tools, enabling institu­ tions to duplicate, in small space, the resources of distant libraries and specialized rare-book collections. Tape recordings will put music and drama, performed by masters, on every campus. Computers, already becoming almost commonplace, will be used for more and more study and research purposes. This availability of resources unheard-of in their parents’ day will enable undergraduates to embark on extensive programs of independent study. Under careful faculty guidance, independent study will equip students with research ability, problem-solving techniques, and bibliographic savvy which should be of immense value to them throughout their lives. Many of yesterday’s college graduates still don’t know how to work creatively in un­ familiar intellectual territory: to pinpoint a problem, formulate intelligent questions, use a library, map a re­ search project. There will be far fewer gaps of this sort in the training of tomorrow’s students. Great new stress on quality will be found at all institu­ tions. Impending explosive growth of the college popula­ tion has put the spotlight, for years, on handling large numbers of students; this has worried educators who feared that quality might be lost in a national preoccupa­ tion with quantity. Big institutions, particularly those with “growth situations,” are now putting emphasis on main­ taining high academic standards—and even raising them —while handling high enrollments, too. Honors pro­ grams, opportunities for undergraduate research, in­ sistence on creditable scholastic achievement are symp­ tomatic of the concern for academic excellence. It’s important to realize that this emphasis on quality will be found not only in four-year colleges and universi­ ties, but in two-year institutions, also. “Each [type of institution] shall strive for excellence in its sphere,” is how the California master plan for higher education puts it; the same idea is pervading higher education at all levels throughout the nation. WHERE’S THE FUN? has been undergoing subtle changes at colleges and universities for years and is likely extracurricular activity �to continue doing so. Student apathy toward some ac­ tivities—political clubs, for example—is lessening. Toward other activities—the light, the frothy—apathy appears to be growing. There is less interest in spectator sports, more interest in participant sports that will be playable for most ef a lifetime. Student newspapers, observes the dean of students at a college on the Eastern seaboard, no longer rant about band uniforms, closing hours for fraternity parties, and the need for bigger pep rallies. Sororities are disappearing from the campuses of women s colleges. “Fun festivals” are granted less time and importance by students; at one big midwestem university, for example, the events of May Week—formerly a five-day wingding involving floats, honorary-fraternity initiations, faculty­ student baseball, and crowning of the May Queen—are now crammed into one half-day. In spite of the wellpublicized antics of a relatively few roof-raisers (e.g., student rioters at several summer resorts last Labor Day, student revelers at Florida resorts during spring-vacation periods), a new seriousness is the keynote of most student activities. “The faculty and administration are more resistant to these changes than the students are,” jokes the president of a women’s college in Pittsburgh. “The typical student congress wants to abolish the junior prom; the dean is the one who feels nostalgic about it: ‘That’s the one event Mrs. Jones and I looked forward to each year.’ ” A QUEST FOR ETHICAL VALUES education, more and more educators are saying, “should be much more than the mere retention of subject matter.” Here are three indications of how the thoughts of many educators are running: “If [the student] enters college and pursues either an intellectual smorgasbord, intellectual Teutonism, or the cash register,” says a midwestern educator, “his educa­ tion will have advanced very little, if at all. The odds are quite good that he will simply have exchanged one form of barbarism for another . . . Certainly there is no incom­ patibility between being well-informed and being stupid; such a condition makes the student a danger to himself and society.” Says another observer: “I prophesy that a more serious intention and mood will progressively characterize the campus .. . This means, most of all, commitment to the use of one’s learning in fruitful, creative, and noble ways.” “The responsibility of the educated man,” says the provost of a state university in New England, “is that he make articulate to himself and to others what he is willing to bet his life on.” sm ■h ¥ 'I 6 the quality of our college teaching—a truly crucial element in fashioning the minds and attitudes of your children—is not jeopardized again by a failure to pay its practitioners adequately. < will teach them? 7-no w the quality of the teaching that your children IrC, can look forward to, and you will know much -Lt- -Lt- about the effectiveness of the education they will receive. Teaching, tomorrow as in the past, is the heart of higher education. It is no secret, by now, that college teaching has been on a plateau of crisis in the U.S. for some years. Much of the problem is traceable to money. Salaries paid to college teachers lagged far behind those paid elsewhere in jobs requiring similarly high talents. While real incomes, as well as dollar incomes, climbed for most other groups of Americans, the real incomes of college professors not merely stood still but dropped noticeably. The financial pinch became so bad, for some teachers, that despite obvious devotion to their careers and obvious preference for this profession above all others, they had to leave for other jobs. Many bright young people, the sort who ordinarily would be attracted to teaching careers, took one look at the salary scales and decided to make their mark in another field. Has the situation improved? tt Will it be better when your children go to college? Yes. At the moment, faculty salaries and fringe benefits (on the average) are rising. Since the rise started from an extremely disadvantageous level, however, no one is getting rich in the process. Indeed, on almost every campus the real income in every rank of the faculty is still considerably less than it once was. Nor have faculty salary scales, generally, caught up with the national scales in competitive areas such as business and government. But the trend is encouraging. If it continues, the financial plight of teachers—and the serious threat to education which it has posed—should be substantially diminished by 1970. None of this will happen automatically, of course. For evidence, check the appropriations for higher education made at your state legislature’s most recent session. If yours was like a number of recent legislatures, it “econo­ mized”—and professorial salaries suffered. The support which has enabled many colleges to correct the most glaring salary deficiencies must continue until the problem is fully solved. After that, it is essential to make sure that ■1 nhere are other angles to the question of attracting and retaining a good faculty besides money. t> The better the student body—the more challeng­ ing, the more livelyits members—the more attractive is the job of teaching it. “Nothing is more certain to make teaching a dreadful task than the feeling that you are dealing with people who have no interest in what you are talking about,” says an experienced professor at a small college in the Northwest. “An appalling number of the students I-have known were bright, tested high on their College Boards, and still lacked flair and drive and persistence,” says another professor. “I have concluded that much of the difference between them and the students who are ‘alive’ must be traceable to their homes, their fathers, their mothers. Parents who themselves take the trouble to be interesting —and interested—seem to send us children who are interesting and interested.” > The better the library and laboratory facilities, the more likely is a college to be able to recruit and keep a good faculty. Even small colleges, devoted strictly to undergraduate studies, are finding ways to provide their faculty members with opportunities to do independent reading and research. They find it pays in many ways: the faculty teaches better, is more alert to changes in the subject matter, is less likely to leave for other fields. ► The better the public-opinion climate toward teachers in a community, the more likely is a faculty to be strong. Professors may grumble among themselves about all the invitations they receive to speak to women’s clubs and alumni groups (“When am I supposed to find the time to check my lecture notes?”), but they take heart from the high regard for their profession which such invitations from the community represent. > Part-time consultant jobs are an attraction to good faculty members. (Conversely, one of the principal check­ points for many industries seeking new plant sites is, What faculty talent is nearby?) Such jobs provide teachers both with additional income and with enormously useful opportunities to base their classroom teachings on practical, current experience. Tpj)UT colleges and universities must do more than |-4x hold on to their present good teachers and replace —those who retire or resign. Over the next few years many institutions must add to their teaching staffs at a prodigious rate, in order to handle the vastly larger numbers of students-who are already forming lines in the admissions office. The ability to be a college teacher is not a skill that can be acquired overnight, or in a year or two. A Ph.D. degree takes at least four years to get, after one has earned his bachelor’s degree. More often it takes six or seven years, and sometimes 10 to 15. In every ten-year period since the turn of the century, as Bernard Berelson of Columbia University has pointed out, the production of doctorates in the U.S. has doubled. But only about 60 per cent of Ph.D.’s today go into academic life, compared with about 80 per cent at the turn of the century. And only 20 per cent wind up teaching undergraduates in liberal arts colleges. Holders of lower degrees, therefore, will occupy many teaching positions on tomorrow’s college faculties. This is not necessarily bad. A teacher’s ability is not always defined by the number of degrees he is entitled to �write after his name. Indeed, said the graduate dean of one great university several years ago, it is high time that “universities have the courage ... to select men very largely on the quality of work they have done and softpedal this matter of degrees.” ~ttn summary, salaries for teachers will be better, larger ( numbers of able young people will be attracted into the A field (but their preparation will take time), and fewer TEACHING MACHINES for the improvement of instruc­ tion at all levels of schooling, including college, are programs of learning presented through mechanical self­ teaching devices, popularly called “teaching machines.” The most widely used machine, invented by Professor Frederick Skinner of Harvard, is a box-like device with holding great promise able people will be lured away. In expanding their faculties, some colleges and universities will accept more holders of bachelor’s and master’s degrees than they have been ac­ customed to, but this may force them to focus attention on ability rather than to rely as unquestioningly as in the past on the magic of a doctor’s degree. Meanwhile, other developments provide grounds for cautious optimism about the effectiveness of the teaching your children will receive. THE TV SCREEN television, not long ago found only in the lounges of dormitories and student unions, is now an accepted teaching tool on many campuses. Its use will grow. “To report on the use of television in teaching,” says Arthur S. Adams, past president of the American Council on Education, “is like trying to catch a galloping horse.” For teaching closeup work in dentistry, surgery, and laboratory sciences, closed-circuit TV is unexcelled. The number of students who can gaze into a patient’s gaping mouth while a teacher demonstrates how to fill a cavity is limited; when their place is taken by a TV camera and the students cluster around TV screens, scores can watch —and see more, too. Television, at large schools, has the additional virtue of extending the effectiveness of a single teacher. Instead of giving the same lecture (replete with the same jokes) three times to students filling the campus’s largest hall, a pro­ fessor can now give it once—and be seen in as many auditoriums and classrooms as are needed to accommo­ date all registrants in his course. Both the professor and the jokes are fresher, as a result. How effective is TV? Some carefully controlled studies show that students taught from the fluorescent screen do as well in some types of course (e.g., lectures) as those sitting in the teacher’s presence, and sometimes better. But TV standardizes instruction to a degree that is not always desirable. And, reports Henry H. Cassirer of UNESCO, who has analyzed television teaching in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan, students do not want to lose contact with their teachers. They want to be able to ask questions as instruc­ tion progresses. Mr. Cassirer found effective, on the other hand, the combination of a central TV lecturer with classroom instructors who prepare students for the lecture and then discuss it with them afterward. ing process by removing some external sources of anxie­ ties, such as fear of falling behind. t> If a student is having difficulty with a subject, the teacher can check back over his machine tapes and find the exact point at which the student began to go wrong. Correction of the difficulty can be made with precision, not gropingly as is usually necessary in machineless classes. Not only do the machines give promise of accelerating the learning process; they introduce an individuality to learning which has previously been unknown. “Where television holds the danger of standardized instruction,” said John W. Gardner, president of the Carnegie Corpora­ tion of New York, in a report to then-President Eisen- . hower, “the self-teaching device can individualize instruc­ tion in ways not now possible—and the student is always an active participant.” Teaching machines are being tested, and used, on a number of college campuses and seem certain to figure prominently in the teaching of your children. they graduate? at a university in the South not long ago (he was the director of admissions, no less, and he spoke not entirely in jest): “I’m happy I went to college back when I did, instead of now. Today, the admissions office probably wouldn’t let me in. If they did, I doubt that I’d last more than a semester or two.” Getting into college is a problem, nowadays. Staying there, once in, can be even more difficult. Here are some of the principal reasons why many students fail to finish: Academic failure: For one reason or another—not always connected with a lack of aptitude or potential scholastic ability—many students fail to make the grade. Low entrance requirements, permitting students to enter college without sufficient aptitude or previous preparation, also play a big part. In schools where only a high-school diploma is required for admission, drop-outs and failures during the first two years average (nationally) between 60 and 70 per cent. Normally selective admissions procedures usually cut this rate down to between 20 and 40 per cent. Where admissions are based on keen competition, the attrition rate is 10 per cent or less. future outlook: High schools are tightening their academic standards, insisting upon greater effort by students, and teaching the techniques of note-taking, ef­ fective studying, and library use. Such measures will inevitably better the chances of students when they reach college. Better testing and counseling programs should help, by guiding less-able students away from institutions where they’ll be beyond their depth and into institutions better suited to their abilities and needs. Growing popular acceptance of the two-year college concept will also help, as will the adoption of increasingly selective admissions procedures by four-year colleges and universities. Parents can help by encouraging activities designed to find the right academic spot for their children; by recogz(^aid an administrator three windows in its top. When the student turns a crank, an item of information, along with a question about it, appears in the lefthand window (A). The student writes his answer to the question on a paper strip exposed in another window (B). The student turns the crank again— and the correct answer appears at window A. Simultaneously, this action moves the student’s answer under a transparent shield covering window C, so that the student can see, but not change, what he has written. If the answer is correct, the student turns another crank, causing the tape to be notched; the machine will by-pass this item when the student goes through the series of ques­ tions again. Questions are arranged so that each item builds on previous information the machine has given. Such self-teaching devices have these advantages: > Each student can proceed at his own pace, whereas classroom lectures must be paced to the “average” student —too fast for some, too slow for others. “With a ma­ chine,” comments a University of Rochester psychologist, “the brighter student could go ahead at a very fast pace.” > The machine makes examinations and testing a re­ warding and learning experience, rather than a punish­ ment. If his answer is correct, the student is rewarded with that knowledge instantly; this reinforces his memory of the right information. If the answer is incorrect, the machine provides the correct answer immediately. In large classes, no teacher can provide such frequent—and indi­ vidual—rewards and immediate corrections. > The machine smooths the ups and downs in the learn- nizing their children’s strengths and limitations; by creat­ ing an atmosphere in which children will be encouraged to read, to study, to develop curiosity, to accept new ideas. Poor motivation: Students drop out of college “not only because they lack ability but because they do not have the motivation for serious study,” say persons who have studied the attrition problem. This aspect of students’ failure to finish college is attracting attention from edu­ cators and administrators both in colleges and in secondary schools. future outlook: Extensive research is under way to determine whether motivation can be measured. The “Personal Values Inventory,” developed by scholars at Colgate University, is one promising yardstick, providing information about a student’s long-range persistence, personal self-control, and deliberateness (as opposed to rashness). Many colleges and universities are participating in the study, in an effort to establish the efficacy of the tests. Thus far, report the Colgate researchers, “the tests have successfully differentiated between over- and under­ achievers in every college included in the sample.” Parents can help by their own attitudes toward scholas­ tic achievement and by encouraging their children to �develop independence from adults. “This, coupled with the reflected image that a person acquires from his parents—an image relating to persistence and other traits and values—may have much to do with his orienta­ tion toward academic success,” the Colgate investigators say. Money: Most parents think they know the cost of send­ ing a child to college. But, a recent survey shows, rela­ tively few of them actually do. The average parent, the survey disclosed, underestimates college costs by roughly 40 per cent. In such a situation, parental savings for col­ lege purposes often run out quickly—and, unless the student can fill the gap with scholarship aid, a loan, or earnings from part-time employment, he drops out. future outlook: A surprisingly high proportion of financial dropouts are children of middle-income, not low-income, families. If parents would inform themselves fully about current college costs—and reinform them­ selves periodically, since prices tend to go up—a substan­ tial part of this problem could be solved in the future by realistic family savings programs. Other probabilities: growing federal and state (as well as private) scholarship programs; growing private and governmental loan programs. Jobs: Some students, anxious to strike out on their own, are lured from college by jobs requiring little skill but offering attractive starting salaries. Many such students may have hesitated about going to college in the first place and drop out at the first opportunity. future outlook: The lure of jobs will always tempt some students, but awareness of the value of completing college—for lifelong financial gain, if for no other reason —is increasing. Emotional problems: Some students find themselves unable to adjust to college life and drop out as a result. Often such problems begin when a student chooses a col­ lege that’s “wrong” for him. It may accord him too much or too little freedom; its pace may be too swift for him, resulting in frustration, or too slow, resulting in boredom; it may be “too social” or “not social enough.” future outlook: With expanding and more skillful guidance counseling and psychological testing, more students can expect to be steered to the “right” college environment. This won’t entirely eliminate the emotionalmaladjustment problem, but it should ease it substantially. Marriage: Many students marry while still in college but fully expect to continue their education. A number do go on (sometimes wives withdraw from college to earn money to pay their husbands’ educational expenses). Others have children before graduating and must drop out of college in order to support their family. future outlook: The trend toward early marriage shows no signs of abating. Large numbers of parents openly or tacitly encourage children to go steady and to marry at an early age. More and more colleges are provid- 10' I jj 1 ! ing living quarters for married undergraduate students. Some even have day-care facilities for students’ young children. Attitudes and customs in their “peer groups” will continue to influence young people on the question of marrying early; in some groups, it’s frowned upon; in others, it’s the thing to do. .^'-'^oli.eges AND Universities are deeply interested in ■ finding solutions to the attrition problem in all its 7 aspects. Today, at many institutions, enrollment resembles a pyramid: the freshman class, at the bottom, is big; the sophomore class is smaller, the junior class still smaller, and the senior class a mere fraction of the fresh­ man group. Such pyramids are wasteful, expensive, inef­ ficient. They represent hundreds, sometimes thousands, of personal tragedies: young people who didn’t make it. The goal of the colleges is to change the pyramid into a straight-sided figure, with as many people graduating as enter the freshman class. In the college of tomorrow, the sides will not yet have attained the perfect vertical, but—as a result of improved placement, admissions, and aca­ demic practices—they should slope considerably less than they do now. A/^7hn I will college have done for them? -yrr YOUR children are like about 33 per cent of today’s [1 college graduates, they will not end their formal educaZL tion when they get their bachelor’s degrees. On they’ll go_ to graduate school, to a professional school, or to an advanced technological institution. There are good reasons for their continuing: > In four years, nowadays, one can only begin to scratch the surface of the body of knowledge in his specialty. To teach, or to hold down a high-ranking job in industry or government, graduate study is becoming more and more useful and necessary. t> Automation, in addition to eliminating jobs in un­ skilled categories, will have an increasingly strong effect on persons holding jobs in middle management and middle technology. Competition for survival will be intense. Many students will decide that one way of competing advantageously is to take as much formal education be­ yond the baccalaureate as they can get. t> One way in which women can compete successfully with men for high-level positions is to be equipped with a graduate degree when they enter the job market. > Students heading for school-teaching careers will increasingly be urged to concentrate on substantive studies in their undergraduate years and to take methodology courses in a postgraduate schooling period. The same will be true in many other fields. > Shortages are developing in some professions, e.g., medicine. Intensive efforts will be made to woo more top undergraduates into professional schools, and opportuni­ ties in short-supplied professions will become increasingly attractive. > “Skills,” predicts a Presidential committee, “may be­ come obsolete in our fast-moving industrial society. Sound education provides a basis for adjustment to constant and abrupt change—a base on which new skills may be built.’ The moral will not be lost on tomorrow’s students. In addition to having such practical motives, tomor­ row’s students will be influenced by a growing tendency to expose them to graduate-level work while they are still undergraduates. Independent study will give them a taste of the intellectual satisfaction to be derived from learning on their own. Graduate-style seminars, with their stimulat­ ing give-and-take of fact and opinion, will exert a strong appeal. As a result, for able students the distinction be­ tween undergraduate and graduate work will become blurred and meaningless. Instead of arbitrary insistence upon learning in two-year or four-year units, there will be more attention paid to the length of time a student requires—and desires—to immerse himself in the specialty that interests him. A nd even with graduate or professional study, educaZjX tion is not likely to end for your children. Administrators in the field of adult education— or, more accurately, “continuing education”—expect that within a decade the number of students under their wing will exceed the number of undergraduates in American colleges and universities. “Continuing education,” says Paul A. McGhee, dean of New York University’s Division of General Education (where annually some 17,000 persons enroll in around 1,200 non-credit courses) “is primarily the education of the already educated.” The more education you have, the more you are likely to want. Since more and more people will go to college, it follows that more and more people will seek knowledge throughout their lives. We are, say adult-education leaders, departing from the old notion that one works to live. In this day of automa­ tion and urbanization, a new concept is emerging: “time,” not “work,” is the paramount factor in people’s lives. Leisure takes on a new meaning: along with golf, boating, �and partying, it now includes study. And he who forsakes gardening for studying is less and less likely to be regarded as the neighborhood oddball. Certain to vanish are the last vestiges of the stigma that has long attached to “night school.” Although the con­ cept of night school as a place for educating only the il­ literate has changed, many who have studied at night— either for credit or for fun and intellectual stimulation— have felt out of step, somehow. But such views are obsolescent and soon will be obsolete. Thus far, American colleges and universities—with notable exceptions-—have not led the way in providing continuing education for their alumni. Most alumni have been forced to rely on local boards of education and other civic and social groups to provide lectures, classes, discus­ sion groups. These have been inadequate, and institutions of higher education can be expected to assume un­ precedented roles in the continuing-education field. Alumni and alumnae are certain to demand that they take such leadership. Wrote Clarence B. Randall in The New York Times Magazine: “At institution after institu­ tion there has come into being an organized and articulate group of devoted graduates who earnestly believe ... that the college still has much to offer them.” When colleges and universities respond on a large scale to the growing demand for continuing education, the variety of courses is likely to be enormous. Already, in institutions where continuing education is an accepted role, the range is from space technology to existentialism to funeral direction. (When the University of California offered non-credit courses in the first-named subject to engineers and physicists, the combined enrollment reached 4,643.) “From the world of astronauts, to the highest of ivory towers, to six feet under,” is how one wag has described the phenomenon. /TT owe other likely features of your children, after ''■vx they are graduated from tomorrow’s colleges: ► They’ll have considerably more political sophisti­ cation than did the average person who marched up to get a diploma in their parents’ day. Political parties now have active student groups on many campuses and publish material beamed specifically at undergraduates. Student­ government organizations are developing sophisticated procedures. Nonpartisan as well as partisan groups, oper­ ating on a national scale, are fanning student interest in current political affairs. ► They’ll have an international orientation that many of their parents lacked when they left the campuses. The presence of more foreign students in their classes, the emphasis on courses dealing with global affairs, the front pages of their daily newspapers will all contribute to this change. They will find their international outlook useful: a recent government report predicts that “25 years from now, one college graduate in four will find at least part of his career abroad in such places as Rio de Janeiro, Dakar, Beirut, Leopoldville, Sydney, Melbourne, or Toronto.” ► They’ll have an awareness of unanswered questions, to an extent that their parents probably did not have. Principles that once were regarded (and taught) as in­ controvertible fact are now regarded (and taught) as sub­ ject to constant alteration, thanks to the frequent toppling of long-held ideas in today’s explosive sciences and technologies. Says one observer: “My student generation, if it looked at the world, didn’t know it was ‘loaded’. Today’s student has no such ignorance.” > They’ll possess a broad-based liberal education, but in their jobs many of them are likely to specialize more narrowly than did their elders. “It is a rare bird today who knows all about contemporary physics and all about modern mathematics,” said one of the world’s most dis­ tinguished scientists not long ago, “and if he exists, I yyho will pay and how? -vr yr y'lLL YOU be able to afford a college education \/%/ for your children? The tuition? The travel exV V pensc? The room rent? The board? In addition: Will you be able to pay considerably more than is written on the price-tags for these items?

Governments now appropriate an estimated $2.9 billion in support of higher education every year. By 1970 government support will have grown to roughly $4 billion. From private gifts and grants. These now provide nearly SI billion annually. By 1970 they must provide about $2,019 billion. Here is where this money is likely to come from: tt tt ere Alumni..................................... $ 505,000,000(25%) Non-aiumni individuals.............. Business corporations...............

Because of the rapid growth of science it has become impossible for one man to master any large part of it; therefore, we have the necessity of specializa­ tion.” ► Your daughters are likely to be impatient with the prospect of devoting their lives solely to unskilled labor as housewives. Not only will more of tomorrow’s women graduates embark upon careers when they receive their diplomas, but more of them will keep up their contacts with vocational interests even during their period of childrearing. And even before the children are grown, more of them will return to the working force, either as paid employees or as highly skilled volunteers. II '\lEPENDING upon their own outlook, parents of I tomorrow's graduates will find some of the pros­ pects good, some of them deplorable. In essence, however, the likely trends of tomorrow are only continua­ tions of trends that are clearly established today, and moving inexorably. 505,000,000 (25%) 505,000,000 (25%) 262,000,000 (13%) 242,000,000 (12%) $2,019,000,000 From endowment earnings. These now provide around $210 million a year. By 1970 endowment will produce around $333 million a year. From tuition and fees. These now provide around $1.2 billion (about 21 per cent of college and university funds). By 1970 they must produce about $2.1 billion (about 23.5 per cent of all funds). From other sources. Miscellaneous income now provides around $410 million annually. By 1970 the figure is ex­ pected to be around $585 million. These estimates, made by the independent Council for Financial Aid to Education*, are based on the “best available” estimates of the expected growth in enroll­ ment in America’s colleges and universities: from slightly less than 4 million this year to about 6.4 million in the ’To whose research staff the editors are indebted for most of the financial projections cited in this section of their report. CFAE statisticians, using and comparing three methods of projection, built their estimates on available hard figures and carefully reasoned assumptions about the future. academic year 1969-70. The total income that the colleges and universities will require in 1970 to handle this enroll­ ment will be on the order of $9 billion—compared with the $5.6 billion that they received and spent in 1959-60. WHO PAYS? of funds, of course—however it is labeled—boils down to you. Some of the money, you pay directly: tuition, fees, gifts to the colleges and univer­ sities that you support. Other funds pass, in a sense, through channels—your church, the several levels of government to which you pay taxes, the business corpora­ tions with which you deal or in which you own stock. But, in the last analysis, individual persons are the source of them all. Hence, if you wished to reduce your support of higher education, you could do so. Conversely (as is presumably the case with most enlightened parents and with most col­ lege alumni and alumnae), if you wished to increase it, you could do that, also—with your vote and your check­ book. As is clearly evident in the figures above, it is es­ sential that you substantially increase both your direct and your indirect support of higher education between now and 1970, if tomorrow’s colleges and universities are to give your children the education that you would wish for them. virtually every source THE MONEY YOU’LL NEED SINCE IT REQUIRES long-range planning and long-range voluntary saving, for most families the most difficult part of financing their children’s education is paying the direct costs: tuition, fees, room, board, travel expenses. These costs vary widely from institution to institution. At government-subsidized colleges and universities, for �example, tuition fees for state residents may be non­ existent or quite low. At community colleges, located within commuting distance of their students’ homes, room and board expenses may consist only of what parents are already paying for housing and food. At independent (non-governmental) colleges and universities, the costs may be considerably higher. In 1960-61, here is what the average male student spent at the average institution of higher education, in­ cluding junior colleges, in each of the two categories (public and private): Public Private Institutions Institutions Tuition $179 $ 676 Board . 383 404 Room . 187 216 Total $749 $1,296 These, of course, are “hard-core” costs only, repre­ senting only part of the expense. The average annual bill for an unmarried student is around $1,550. This con­ servative figure, provided by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan for the U.S. Office of Edu­ cation, does not include such items as clothing. And, as we have attempted to stress by italicizing the word “aver­ age” wherever it appears, the bill can be considerably higher, as well as somewhat lower. At a private college for women (which is likely to get relatively little money from other sources and must therefore depend heavily upon tuition income) the hard-core costs alone may now run as high as $2,600 per year. Every parent must remember that costs will inevitably rise, not fall, in the years ahead. In 1970, according to one estimate, the cost of four years at the average state university will be $5,800; at the average private college, $11,684. HOW TO AFFORD IT? SUCH sums represent a healthy part of most families’ resources. Hard-core costs alone equal, at public institu­ tions, about 13 per cent of the average American family’s annual income; at private institutions, about 23 per cent of average annual income. How do families afford it? How can you afford it? Here is how the typical family pays the current average bill of $1,550 per year: Parents contribute.. Scholarships defray The student earns.. Other sources yield. for many families, a scramble—a piecing-together of many sources of funds. Is such scrambling necessary? The question can be answered only on a family-by-family basis. But these generalizations do seem valid: ► Many parents think they are putting aside enough money to pay most of the costs of sending their children to college. But most parents seriously underestimate what these costs will be. The only solution: Keep posted, by checking college costs periodically. What was true of college costs yesterday (and even of the figures in this report, as nearly current as they are) is not necessarily true of college costs today. It will be even less true of college costs tomorrow. ► If they knew what college costs really were, and what they are likely to be in the years when their children are likely to enroll, many parents could save enough money. They would start saving earlier and more persistently. They would gear their family budgets to the need. They would revise their savings programs from time to time, as they obtained new information about cost changes. ► Many parents count on scholarships to pay their chil­ dren’s way. For upper-middle-income families, this reli­ ance can be disastrous. By far the greatest number of scholarships are now awarded on the basis of financial need, largely determined by level of family income. (Col­ leges and other scholarship sources are seriously con­ cerned about the fact, indicated by several studies, that at least 100,000 of the country’s high-school graduates each year are unable to attend college, primarily for financial reasons.) Upper-middle-income families are among those most seriously affected by the sudden reali­ zation that they have failed to save enough for their children’s education. ► Loan programs make sense. Since going to college sometimes costs as much as buying a house (which most families finance through long-term borrowing), long-term $950 130 360 110 Nearly half of all parents begin saving money for their children’s college education well before their children are ready to enroll. Fourteen per cent report that they borrow money to help meet college costs. Some 27 per cent take on extra work, to earn more money. One in five mothers does additional work in order to help out. Financing the education of one’s children is obviously, I Using the current and the 1970 figures that were cited earlier, tuition will probably have to carry, on the aver­ age, about 2 per cent more of the share of total educa­ tional costs than it now carries. Governmental support, although increasing by about a billion dollars, will actu­ ally carry about 7 per cent less of the total cost than it now does. Endowment income’s share will remain about the same as at present. Revenues in the category of “other sources” can be expected to decline by about .8 per cent, in terms of their share of the total load. Private gifts and grants—from alumni, non-alumni individuals, businesses and unions, philanthropic foundations, and religious de­ nominations—must carry about 6 per cent more of the total cost in 1970, if higher education is not to founder. Alumnae and alumni, to whom colleges and universi­ ties must look for an estimated 25 per cent ($505 million) of such gifts: please note. repayment of college costs, by students or their parents, strikes many people as highly logical. Loans can be obtained from government and from private bankers. Just last spring, the most ambitious private loan program yet developed was put into opera­ tion: United Student Aid Funds, Inc., is the backer, with headquarters at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N.Y. It is raising sufficient capital to underwrite a reserve fund to endorse S500 million worth of long-term, lowinterest bank loans to students. Affiliated state com­ mittees, established by citizen groups, will act as the direct contact agencies for students. In the 1957-58 academic year, Ioans for educational purposes totaled only SI 15 million. Last year they totaled an estimated S430 million. By comparison, scholarships from all sources last year amounted to only SI60 million. IS THE COST TOO HIGH? high as they seem, tuition rates are bargains, in this sense: They do not begin to pay the cost of providing a college education. On the national average, colleges and universities must receive between three and four additional dollars for every one dollar that they collect from students, in order to provide their services. At public institutions, the ratio of non-tuition money to tuition money is greater than the average: the states typically spend more than $700 for every student enrolled. Even the gross cost of higher education is low, when put in perspective. In terms of America’s total production of goods and services, the proportion of the gross na­ tional product spent for higher education is only 1.3 per cent, according to government statistics. To put salaries and physical plant on a sound footing, colleges must spend more money, in relation to the gross national product, than they have been spending in the past. Before they can spend it, they must get it. From what sources? CAN COLLEGES BE MORE EFFICIENT? not infrequently, other business men—sometimes tear their hair over the “inefficiencies” they see in higher education. Physical facilities—classrooms, for example—are in use for only part of the 24-hour day, and sometimes they stand idle for three months in summertime. Teachers “work”— i.e., actually stand in the front of their classes—for only a fraction of industry’s 40-hour week. (The hours devoted to preparation and research, without which a teacher would soon become a purveyor of dangerously outdated misinformation, don’t show on formal teaching schedules and are thus sometimes overlooked by persons making a judgment in terms of business efficiency.) Some courses are given for only a handful of students. (What a waste of space and personnel, some cost analysts say.) A few of these “inefficiencies” are capable of being curbed, at least partially. The use of physical facilities is being increased at some institutions through the provision of night lectures and lab courses. Summer schools and year-round schedules are raising the rate of plant utiliza­ tion. But not all schools are so situated that they can avail themselves of even these economies. The president of the Rochester (N.Y.) Chamber of Commerce observed not long ago: “The heart of the matter is simply this: To a great extent, the very thing which is often referred to as the ‘inefficient’ or ‘unbusinesslike’ phase of a liberal arts college’s operation is really but an accurate reflection of its true essential nature . . . [American business and industry] have to understand that much of liberal edu­ cation which is urgently worth saving cannot be justified on a dollars-and-cents basis.” In short, although educators have as much of an obli­ gation as anyone else to use money wisely, you just can’t run a college like a railroad. Your children would be cheated, if anybody tried. industrial cost accountants—and, �In sum They will need, as always, the understanding by thoughtful portions of the citizenry (particularly their own alumni and alumnae) of the subtleties, the sensitiveness, the fine balances of freedom and responsibility without which the mechanism of higher education cannot ■TF -w- -then YOUR children go to college, what will \/\ / college be like? Their college will, in short, be ’ ’ ready for them. Its teaching staff will be compe­ tent and complete. Its courses will be good and, as you would wish them to be, demanding of the best talents that your children possess. Its physical facilities will sur­ function. They will need, if they are to be of highest service to your children, the best aid which you are capable of giving as a parent: the preparation of your children to value things of the mind, to know the joy of meeting and overcoming obstacles, and to develop their own personal pass those you knew in your college years. The oppor­ tunities it will offer your children will be limitless. If. That is the important word. Between now and 1970 (a date that the editors arbi­ trarily selected for most of their projections, although the date for your children may come sooner or it may come later), much must be done to build the strength of America’s colleges and universities. For, between now and 1970, they will be carrying an increasingly heavy load in behalf of the nation. They will need more money—considerably more than is now available to them—and they will need to obtain much of it from you. independence. Your children are members of the most promising American generation. (Every new generation, properly, is so regarded.) To help them realize their promise is a job to which the colleges and universities are dedicated. It is their supreme function. It is the job to which you, as parent, are also dedicated. It is your supreme function. With your efforts and the efforts of the college of to­ morrow, your children’s future can be brilliant.

This is the second year for the event and it complemented nicely the annual Wyo­ ming Valley Fine Arts Fiesta which is gaining nation-wide publicity. Conyngham Hall Annex, setting for the Art Fair, saw a steady stream of visitors numbering almost 1,000 who viewed the exhibits occupying the two floors of the hall. Water colors, fashion drawing, sculpture, typography, batik, copper enameling, pastels, figure draw­ ing, ceramics, oils, pottery, printing, tempera and encaustic painting comprised the exhibit. The Art Fair was climaxed with an Artists and Models Ball. 10 “A spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions” does not begin to describe adequately the standing ova­ tions given members of the cast for their outstanding performances. According to “Al” Groh, Director of the Theater, there has never been such immediate audience reaction to any play given previously at Wilkes. Cue and Curtain reached new heights with this play which is an adaptation by Arthur Miller. The Theater at Wilkes, under the expert direction of Mr. Groh, is providing intellectual stimulus to stu­ dents, to faculty, and to friends of the College. Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” concerns Kirsten Springs, a town on the Norwegian seacoast, and its inhabitants. The town and its people profit greatly from the attraction of the “springs,” the mineral waters, so called, of the area. Dr. Stockmann, played by David Fendrick, discovers that the waters are poisonous, and advises a halt to the tourist trade which visits Kirsten Springs annually to bathe in its “miraculous” waters. The resulting clash of interests between the individual and society follows. Dr. Stockmann, ostracized by his friends, concludes the drama in a scene with his wife and children: “You are fighting for the truth, and that’s why you’re alone. And that makes you strong — we’re the strongest people in the world ... and the strong must learn to be lonely.” Recently Cue and Curtain held its annual awards program. Awards were presented by Dr. William Edgerton, English Department Chairman, to the following students for outstanding performances during the past year: Best actor, David Fendrick, for his role as Dr. Stockmann in “An Enemy of the People”; Best actress, Sieglinde Vallot, as Elvira in “Blithe Spirit”; Best supporting actor, Marc Hirshman, as the mayor in “An Enemy of the People”; Best supporting actress, Joan Pitney, as grandma in “The American Dream.” J. Paul Thomas, ’51, President of Theater Alumni, presented the annual “Theater Alumni Award” to Marc Hirshman for his portrayal of Mayor Stock­ mann in Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People.” Dr. Beverly Canning, Associate Professor of Speech and Drama, Hood College, Frederick, Maryland, was the guest speaker at the annual awards program. Dr. Canning reviewed several current non-musical Broadway dramas. Among them were the English plays: “A Passage to India”; “The Aspern Papers”; and “A Man for All Seasons.” American plays re­ viewed briefly by Dr. Canning were: “Gideon”; “Gift of Time”; “The Night of the Iguana”; and “Purlie Victorious.” Dr. Canning concluded her remarks by stating that “the theater is not deteriorating ... it (drama) is the chief contributor to our cultural heritage.” 11 �CUE AND CURTAIN CONCLUDES SEASON WITH SMASH HIT Chase Theater was the scene each evening from May 1-5 of overflowing audiences which came to see Wilkes Cue and Curtain perform superbly Hen­ rik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People.” “A spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions” does not begin to describe adequately the standing ova­ tions given members of the cast for their outstanding performances.

The College purchased the home from Mrs. Miner and it will be used as a dormitory. “College Challenge,” bi-monthly television program of the College, is now in its second successful year of broad­ casting. This program encourages students to make their education a living experience by allowing them to analyze and discuss important ideas of our time. It also keeps the community informed of College activities so they can examine and evaluate the role the College plays in a grow­ ing community. Mr. Alfred Groh is the program’s mod­ erator. Cue and Curtain again maintained a busy schedule as it presented Noel Coward’s hilarious comedy, “Blithe Spirit,” and two student-directed productions — “Final Performance” and “Impromptu”. The newly-formed Wilkes College Survival Committee, working closely with the Luzerne County Civil Defense, has been blueprinting campus plans for protection and survival in case of enemy attack. Dr. Darnel Detwiler is chairman of the committee. Wilkes campus was the setting for the Fifth Annual Con­ ference of the Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of Eng­ lish. The Conference, held in late October, featured out­ standing speakers and panelists from educational plants throughout Pennsylvania. “Articulation: Grade School through College” was the conference theme. The Institute of Municipal Government sponsored the First Annual Community Growth Conference this Fall. The Conference gave those interested in the solution of the more practical problems related to the social and economic well-being of the area an opportunity to ex­ change ideas. In addition, it allowed them to share ex­ periences with nationally-known authorities, who also participated in the conference.

Future engineers take advantage of an autumn day on the River Common College and community joined ranks to honor Dr. Farley at a testimonial dinner commemorating twenty-five years of service to both the College and the community. Details of the affair are related elsewhere in this issue. Wilkes, itself, recently gained national recognition when the “Today” show featured the College story and the im­ portant role it plays in the community, also in this issue. The College campus was aglow with the Christmas spirit as the Lettermen sponsored their annual Christmas formal. Couples whirled to the music of Jack Melton and his orchestra in a Christmas Fairyland of candy canes and holly wreaths. Mr. Ralston again led the Lettermen in carol. An extra treat was a solo performance by Mr. Ralston. Theta Delta Rho joined with Santa Claus, himself, to bring the Christmas festivities to the oldsters of Sutton Home, Old Ladies Home, Franklin Convalescent and Summit Convalescent Homes at a special Christmas party held in honor of the elder members of the community. The Collegians entertained with Christmas carols and Mrs. Farley played several piano selections. The Madrigal singers, Collegians, and Women’s Chorus provided a holiday of music for many community organi­ zations. Among the groups entertained were the Medical Society, Irem Temple Country Club, Mozart Club, Boston Store, and the Cambrian Club. The Madrigal Singers made their first recording of Christ­ mas carols this season. The original tape was made in May in the First Presbyterian Church and was subse­ quently pressed in October. The jacket of the seasonal recording was made especially attractive by a four-color engraving of the carol singers taken outside the Farjey residence.

Testimonial To Dr. Farley For the integral part he has played in both community and college growth over the past twenty-five years, more than 900 citizens paid the Wilkes College President heart-warming tribute on November 11,1961. Veterans Day, observed throughout the nation on Satur­ day, November 11, 1961, took on new meaning within the college and became “Gene Farley Day” additionally as more than nine hundred leading citizens gathered in Wilkes College gymnasium Saturday evening to pay tribute to Eugene S. Farley, the man, and to Dr. Farley, the President of the College. This was not a case of the College honoring its president, but rather a spontaneous upsurge of respect and gratitude on the part of Greater Wilkes-Barre for a man who twenty-five years ago ac­ cepted both the reins of the College and the problems that were attached to them. 3 �Even Scranton entered into the spirit of the day. the giant billboard of WDAU-Television proudly displayed a salute to Dr. Farley. Inasmuch as the billboard is located on the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Highway opposite the ap­ proach road to the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Airport, count­ less thousands were apprised of the testimonial. Fortunately, on March 27. 1936. when he received the appointment. Dr. Farley recognized full well that the problems of the College were tied unequivocally to those of the community. The guess is not so hazardous as to suppose it was this clear recognition then that was the indirect result of the outpouring of citizenry in the gym­ nasium twenty-five years and eight months later! Some might call it fate; wiser ones, vision. The testimonial dinner to Dr. Farley was not happen­ stance. It all began in March when a reporter of one of the Wilkes-Barre Dailies mentioned to one of Wilkes-Barre s leading citizens that the Wilkes College president had been appointed to his present post twenty-five years ago, and “what are you going to do about it?” What was going to be done happened very quickly. A “Friends of Eugene S. Farley” committee was appointed with Mrs. Jessie Guthrie Conyngham and William O. Sword serving as co-chairmen. The Conyngham interest in the community goes back three generations; Mr. Sword, as President of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund, has been working closely with Dr. Farley since the former acceded to his present post more than fifteen years ago. Serving with the chairmen were E. B. Mulligan, Jr., resi­ dent partner, Green, Ellis and Anderson; A. J. Sordoni, Jr., president, Sordoni Enterprises, Incorporated; Larry Greenspon, Greenspon Advertising Agency; Tom Bigler, Program Director, Radio Station WILK; Mrs. Shirley Klein; Attorney Joseph Savitz; David S. Davis, vice presi­ dent, Miners National Bank, and Reuben H. Levy. Coordinating the affair on a campus level and acting as college liaison were Deans George Ralston and Gertrude Doane, John Chwalek, and John Whitby. Although the occasion was primarily a community affair, student organizations desired to be heard; and they were — with great gusto! The dinner was scheduled for 6:30 P.M., and one hour before this time, members of the head table convened by invitation nt the home of Mrs. Conyngham for an im­ promptu reception. From this point, the group proceeded by automobiles driven by students to the gymnasium where Theta Delta Rho women seated them. Outside the Gymnasium the Wilkes band again serenaded the arrival of guests. A word now about the speakers. Long before final plans were completed, the general committee decided against having a principal speaker per se. Inasmuch as this was to be a “Gene Farley Night,” it was agreed to invite those who had been close to the Wilkes president over the years and who could contribute something meaningful to the occasion. Towards this end, the following were invited to participate: Dr. Jule Ayers, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre; Dr. Abraham D. Barras, Rabbi, Temple Israel; Attorney Jesse H. Choper, Wilkes '57, Associate Professor of Law, University of Minnesota School of Law who presided as toastmaster; Honorable Frank Slattery, Mayor of the City of Wilkes-Barre; At­ torney Andrew Hourigan, Jr., President, Greater WilkesBarre Chamber of Commerce; Arnaud C. Marts, Chair­ man, Board of Directors, Marts and Lundy, Incorporated, New York; Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chairman, Wilkes College Board of Trustees; Dr. K. Roald Bergethon, Presi­ dent, Lafayette College; Attorney Joseph Savitz, repre­ senting the Alumni, and Reuben H. Levy, representing the “Friends of Eugene S. Farley.” William O. Sword Dinner Chairman; President, Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund High spot of the affair probably was the presentation by Mr. Levy of a Pontiac Bonneville Sedan to Dr. Farley and when Joe Savitz presented both Dr. and Mrs. Farley with matching Sterling Silver trays. Elsewhere in the Alumnus are verbatim reports of all speakers which tell the story of the testimonial far better than news columns. In passing, let it be said echoes of the affair are still heard throughout Greater Wilkes-Barre, affirming indelibly that Wilkes is tied tightly to Greater Wilkes-Barre. Its fortunes are the community’s and vice versa. And, just as they were twenty-five years ago, so are its problems. By cooperative effort, Wilkes and WilkesBarre can move on to wider horizons. Actually, Dr. Farley’s morning began on November 11 with a breakfast in his honor and that of Mrs. Farley in the Adams Room of Hotel Sterling. Associated Women Students played host. As breakfast adjourned, the group re-assembled on the lawn in front of the Farley residence where they were joined by representatives of Student Government. Before their arrival, however, Wilkes Symphonic Band, directed by Larry Weed, had taken position on the lawn, and as the Farleys arrived, the band had set the scene musically. Al Kishel, Student Government President, then presented Dr. Farley with a handsomely-bound portfolio containing the autographs of eleven hundred students. Other student units playing an important part in the testimonial were Theta Delta Rho, members of which ushered guests to their seats; The Lettermen, who took charge of checking facilities, the Wilkes College Chorus, directed by Dick Chapline, and of course, Bill Jervis and Bill Carter, without whose assistance no affair in the gymnasium is remotely possible! 4 i . . .

Mr. Choper! 5 �If words could articulate the deserving phrases due Dr. Farley this evening, I am sure that the distinguished speakers have done that job well, and I would not hope to attempt to add too much to what they have said. But in his traditionally modest and humble fashion, Dr. Farley has shifted the cause of all of this back to others. And I would like to say a few words after he’s spoken so he is unable to shift back that As Mayor I have many chances to e ous and varied dinners in this City, finest out-pouring of fine people I 1 You are all cordially welcomed to thf Barre and to this Testimonial. responsibility. Dr. Farley said that the College owes much to the Faculty and the Trustees, and no one would question that. The important point I think is particularity concerning a really outstanding faculty here at Wilkes.

And for this we are indebted to Dr. Farley.

Andrew Hourigan, Jr. President of Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and a member of Wilkes College Board of Trustees 25 YEAR . Choper ite Professor of Law lesota School of Law; (master History records that even Napoleon stood in awe, speechless before the pyramids. I have never stood before the pyramids so I cannot tell you how speechless I would be. But tonight, as I stand before Dr. Farley, the speakers who will follow, and this wonderful audience, I feel as though I would prefer to take a chance on a pyramid or two! And the pyramids, as Wonders of the Ancient World, offer me an apt point of refer­ ence. It has been said that each man makes his own stature, builds himself. Never­ in the history of this area has any one man done such a masterful job of building not only himself, but his friends and neighbors, too. We honor tonight a giant of giants. Others will speak of his varied attainments, but it is my pleasure to speak of him as a community leader of tremendous stature — just as great figuratively as it obviously is literally. 7 �My associations with Dr. Farley are more recent than those of many of you — and my personal observations must therefore stress the quality and quantity of his per­ formances in the last decade. In that time, Gene Farley has been a far-sighted, fear­ less, visionary who has sought improvements in all phases of the Valley’s socio-economic welfare. He has always been a tireless leader in implementing his own recommenda­ tions for community betterment. Despite the magnitude of his creative talents, however, he has constantly been a team player. In community ventures, Gene has been ever mindful of the fact that we need workers as well as leaders. We shall never forget his determined persistence in pursuing the most difficult, almost impossible soliciting assignments in the recent Industrial Fund campaign. His performance as an ordinary worker matches his example as a leader — an attainment which his rmas­ suming modesty alone makes possible. It happens frequently that when one sets up a near and limited objective, he also opens up more distant and general goals. Dr. Farley came here to set up and guide a college. He enlarged that goal so that soon he was heading a Community College. He then realized that such an institution in a declining community was doomed. So he broadened his perspective to encompass community improvement and revitaliza­ tion as a new general goal. In this expanded field of activity, he has sponsored and encouraged the Committee of 100, the Industrial Fund, the Chamber of Commerce, the United Fund — and a host of local other organizations which had never known such vigor as they demonstrated with the assistance of the Farley “touch”. In revivifying community organizations, he has truly had the Touch of Midas. Still, as we pay our tribute to him for a life­ time already brimming with superlatives, he sits there, I am sure, thinking of more distant goals for the further improvement of the college, and for the community that his college has endowed. “Great men hallow a whole people and lift up all who live in their time.” Never was this aphorism more true than in the case of Gene Farley. A whole generation of Wilkes-Barreans have been inspired to greater efforts by his sterling example and work. His students today, while receiving excellent college educations, are also receiving basic instruction in community responsibility, and bid to become the leaders of tomorrow. With an enthusiastic note of personal admiration and affection, I join them and you in saluting the man who has given us all such magnificent example and inspiration. Arnaud C. Marts I Chairman, of the Board of Directors, Marts and Lundy, Inc., and a member of Wilkes College Board of Trustees Our Chairman has referred to the manner in which I was tossed into Wilkes-Barre 26 years ago as President of your little three-year-old Junior College, and he has told you how I found it necessary to include a weekly visit to Wilkes-Barre in my 3-dayper-week efforts to be president of Bucknell University at Lewisburg. It is fortunate for you that my remarks have been limited to 10 minutes; otherwise I would probably reminisce for the next hour. Quickly and briefly on this occasion, I wish to mention four actions which I took with Gene Farley, whom we honor here tonight, which I remember with special satisfaction. First. The most important thing which I helped to do in those days was to find and bring Gene Farley and Eleanor Farley to the College. We needed a leader, a man of of great courage, vision, strength and charm. We asked the Dean of Education of the University of Pennsylvania for a suggestion. He said, “The best student I have ever had as a candidate for the Ph.D degree in education is a Quaker with an Irish name — Eugene Farley.” We looked him up; he and Eleanor visited Wilkes-Barre. All we could show him were 200 students in a rented 4-story building on Franklin Street. He looked at those crowded rooms; he looked at an area with unemployment and discouragement evident in every direction. You ask, — “Did he not see how difficult and impossible it would be to build a quality College here?” He saw it alright and spoke of each difficulty and handicap. In fact, he saw a lot more than we showed him. We didn’t hoodwink him a single bit. You ask, — “Then why in the world did he take the job?” Simply because he knew a college had to be built here, for the sake of young people and for the sake of the future of this community. And, because he had been given the opportunity to do it. In short, he took the impossible job for two reasons — first, because it was almost im­ possible, and second, because he had the courage and spirit and zeal to tackle the impossible — he wasn’t looking for the easy job — he was looking for the job worth doing. Second. We began to help gather around this new little Junior College, far away from its Alma Mother, a Board of Trustees, of public-spirited men and women of WilkesBarre, who would have their own responsibility for their own educational institution. Mr. Gilbert McClintock needed no urging — he had the vision at once and agreed to accept responsibility as Chairman. Other leaders were recruited on the so-called “Board” promptly — Edward B. Mulligan, Charles H. Miner, Jr., James P. Harris, Mrs. Charles E. Clift, Mrs. Franck G. Darte, Dr. Samuel M. Davenport, John Davis, Thomas F. Farrell, John A. Hourigan, Mrs. Edward H. Kent, Reuben H.

I remember each one with deen appreciation and pay tribute to each, those who are stiff with us and those who have passed on to their reward, for their vision and leadership. This, I could not have accomplished, if Gene Farley had not been the leader of the little College. These men and women were smart, as well as public spirited. They were smart enough to know that the little College could not succeed without a leader who could and would put brains, skill and unselfish devotion at the very heart and center of the venture. And, they understood human nature and character well enough so that they were able to recognize that kind of a man in the person of Gene Farley I am sure many of them would not have accepted the responsibility and would not have stayed with the College through the heat of the long struggle if Gene had not been the College’s leader. They looked at Gene, and saw a man, through and through, and accepted responsibility on the Board. Third. I realized that it was extremely important to be able to say to the Bucknell College Trustees, “Build up your resources as quickly and fully as you can; be assured that when you are able to get your own Charter from the State of Pennsylvania, Bucknell Mil turn all of the property of the Junior College over to your new Wilkes-Barre College. In other words, in building up the resources of Bucknell Junior College, you are not adding to the capital assets of Bucknell University of Lewisburg; on the contrary, you are creating permanent assets for your own local College right here in Wilkes-Barre.” Now, there were men and women in Wilkes-Barre who found it hard to believe that Bucknell University really had such an unselfish interest in the youth of this Valley. There were actually people, in short, who did not believe me! The fourth and last thing which I will mention was our success in persuading gener­ ous citizens of Wilkes-Barre to give to the Junior College their beautiful homes on West River Street. Mrs. John Conyngham and Admiral Harold Stark put the Junior College in orbit for evermore, when they gave their properties in 1936, and Mr. Allan Kirby boosted it farther toward the stars by the gift of his father’s house in the follow­ ing year. Mr. Weckesser soon gave a useful house on Franklin Street. Others followed with the gifts of other property. These early gifts came so quickly, one after the other, that a certain degree of conster­ nation was aroused in the minds of other property owners. Mr. Julius Stem was in Bermuda when he learned of one of these series of gifts. He sent me a radiogram which read — “Do not take my house for the Junior College until I can return and remove my furniture.” I had a dear friend in New York, a native of Wilkes-Barre and of West River Street, who retained close ties with Wilkes-Barre. He came to me in sorrow and distress and asked if I knew what I was doing in taking those beautiful residences over for college use. I replied that what I was trying to do was to make college education possible for hundreds of ambitious able boys and girls of the Wyoming Valley who could not afford to leave home for College. So, I requested the Trustees of Bucknell to put such action on their official record. I then made this action known in Wilkes-Barre, and re-assured you here. His rather heated reply was that, in fact, I was helping to ruin the most beautiful section of his beloved city; that the students would swarm over their lawns, jam the streets with their cars, and dominate that section in a noisy, unpleasant manner. A few years later, one or two newly added Bucknell Trustees, began to wonder what the Junior College at Wilkes-Barre was all about and what its future relationship to Bucknell University was to be. So I asked the Bucknell Board of Trustees to re­ affirm my promise on their records. They did so. This same question was raised a third time while I was the peripatetic President of Bucknell. You know Boards of Trustees of Colleges and of other institutions change constantly, and when a man comes on such a Board, he is frequently tempted to believe that everything the Trustees had done before his arrival was a bit stupid. I wonder if his forecast was correct. I asked an old resident of Wilkes-Barre, him­ self born and raised on West River Street, the other day if the College had destroyed the West River Street area in that manner. He replied, “On the contrary, the College has probably saved those blocks from becoming an area of remodeled apartments and rooming houses.” So the question of the future of Bucknell Junior College was murmured about by some new Trustees for the third time, and for the third time, I had the Bucknell Trustees officially re-affirm the promise to Wilkes-Barre. It is fortunate I did, for by 1946 when the Junior College was able to qualify f°r own barter from the State and was ready to launch out on its own under the new name — Wilkes College — it had capital assets of $2,000,000 or more, and there was ’t neW Administration and Board at Bucknell, who, in the quaint wor . e Testament “Remembered not Joseph.” Some “Johnny Come Latelies wei saying, “Why did we carry the Junior College when it was poor, and give it when it became prosperous?” 10 If I had not been able to refer to our three promises and re-affirmations in the official minutes of the Trustees — well, why worry about worries that are over? I asked the new President of Bucknell to come to Wilkes-Barre and in a public ceremony, in which many of you participated on the green lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls, to hand over to Gilbert McClintock and Gene Farley, Chairman and President of Wilkes College, a symbolic deed to the multi-million dollar property of the Junior College. Thus the umbilical cord was severed, and the multi-million dollar infant Wilkes College was on its own. Of these four things which I recall of the early years of this College, by far and away the most important was bringing Gene and Eleanor Farley here. None of the other things would have been possible without this Quaker with the Irish name, at the head and heart of the College. It has been well said that, “every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a man.” That is preeminently true of Wilkes College and of Gene Farley. I shall leave it to others to eulogize Gene more fully and more gracefully. I shall sum up my appraisal by saying, of the four things I was able to help accomplish for Wilkes College, the greatest of these was to bring Gene and Eleanor Farley to Wilkes-Barre to create Wilkes College. �William S. McLean, F.E. Parkhurst, Jr. Daniel C. Roberts, Col. Dorrance C. Reynolds Wkesser, sLud Wolk/etc. Other were added - I wish I could eulogize each by name. I remember each one with deep appreciation and pay tribute to each, those who are stdl wrth us and those who have passed on to their reward, for their vision and leadership. aVe This, I could not have accomplished, if Gene Farley had not been the leader of th little College.

I realized that it was extremely important to be able to say to the Bucknell College Trustees, “Build up your resources as quickly and fully as you can; be assured that when you are able to get your own Charter from the State of Pennsylvania, Bucknell will turn all of the property of the Junior College over to your new Wilkes-Barre College.

Their lives here have enriched and blessed the lives of thousands of young people and their families. They have given new courage and leadership and heart and spirit to this great city — so much in need of what they brought. And when we and they have passed off the scene, men and women not yet born will be reaping the rewards, material, intellectual, cultuial and spiritual, of the labors of Gene and Eleanor here. They may never hear of Gene Farley one hundred years from now (such is the way of life) but just the same their daily lives will be blessed because he was here. Admiral Harold R. Stark U. S. N. Retired, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes College Someone asked me yesterday if I had prepared a talk for tonight - I replied no and at present I feel very much like the man who, when called upon, got on his feet and said, “Before I got up, only God and I knew what I was going to say, and now only God knows.” If you care to count the waiters ushers and chorus, then more than 1,000 strained the scams of the gymnasium to pay tribute to the Wilkes College president. But thoughts and incidents well up fast when I think of Gene Farley. FT One day this fall, I called on a very dear and elderly lady, who, among other things, asked me if I knew Dr. Farley. I said “yes”, and then I wish you all could have heard her eulogy of him, and she wound up with “He is a good and a great man”. I had to resist the temptation to use the vernacular and say, “Dear Lady, ‘you said a mouthful’.” Then I walked up Franklin Street and saw a lovely picture of young girls, and boys — teen-agers — smiling with their books in their arms on their way to classes. I thought -- all this is a dream come true for a wonderful young man — who 25 years ago came to this town - with little of this world’s goods - but with a very dear girl and help mate at his side — Eleanor - and great ambition to serve his fellow man — to do good to others - and to this community. And today we see what he has wrought. And the tangible evidence here to-night. And in the hearts and minds of those who have reaped where he has sown. And will continue to do so -- for a long long time ahead. It would seem that his cup is quite full -- but I know from close contact with him these last few years he feels that all that has gone before is just a beginning-and that greater than ever before are the opportunities ahead for service to Wilkes College, its de­ voted, splendid faculty, its fine student body - and to the citizenry of this entire area, whose welfare is ever in his mind and entwined with his every thought and effort. His gratitude to all who have made it possible for him to do the things which have been done is unbounded, and to talk with him you might think he has merely been an enthusiastic spectator, - But we know the main spring, the driving force, the tireless and devoted builder Gene Farley and may he be spared to us for many years to come - to continue his great sendee. Good luck Gene and God Bless you - 12 �Thank God lor Gene and Eleanor Farley!

I had to resist the temptation to use the vernacular and say, “Dear Lady, ‘you said a mouthful’.” Then I walked up Franklin Street and saw a K lovely' picture of young girls, and boys - teen-agers — smiling with their books in their ir arms on their way to classes. I thought - all this is a dream come true for a wonderful young man — who 25 years ago came to this town -- with 22 little of this world’s goods -- but with a very dear girl and help mate at his side — Eleanor and great ambition to serve his fellow man - to do good to others - and to this community. And today we see what he has wrought. And the tangible evidence here to-night. And in the hearts and minds of those who And will continue to do have reaped where he has sown. so - for a long long time ahead. It would seem 1that ’ ' 1.2 his cup is quite full - but I know from close contact with him these last few years he all that has “ feels ' 2. that 2—1 21 nas gone before 2 is just a beginning-and that„greater than ever before are are the the npportunitioc opportunities ahead ahead for service to Wilkes College, its devoted, splendid faculty, its fine student body j - and to the citizenry of this entire area, whose welfare is ever in his mind and entwined with his every thought and effort. — XKJ Al His gratitude to all who have made it possible for him to do the things which have been done is unbounded, and to talk with him you might think he has merely been an enthusiastic spectator, But we know the main spring, the driving force, the tireless and devoted builder Gene Farley and may he be spared to us for many years to come - to continue his great service. Good luck Gene and God Bless you - �paign trail. Gene Farley has lived it and worked it, as you well know after twenty-five years with him in town. With Gene all thinking and all acting have to relate as directly as possible to the most basic needs and values of real live human beings. I think, of course, that we must realize that Gene does not fulfill every possible char­ acteristic of the presidential image. I think, for example, of a story that is associated with one of Lafayette College’s previous presidents, President Cattell. This Mr. Cat­ tell had a son. This son became a psychologist and a professor himself. Evidently for one reason or another he came to have a somewhat uncomplimentary opinion of his father, or at least an uncomplimentary opinion of his father as a college president. Dr. K. Roald Bergethon President of Lafayette College Mr. Choper, President Farley, honored guests at the head table, ladies and gentlemen, and last but not least the estimable speakers who have preceded me, who have so brilliantly assured my continued cultivation of the virtue of modesty. Except for one consideration the thought of speaking to you at this juncture of the evening would have caused me despair. This consideration was the fact that you would be here — not to listen to me — but to express your affection for a man. I realized that it was not important whether or not I might be an outstanding speaker; we would be thinking together about an outstanding subject. I recognized that all would be well if somehow my heart could speak to your heart and we could together continue to take joy in this man Gene Farley. That we at Lafayette think well of Gene Farley, I am sure you know. When I greet him now, I greet him as an Honorary Alumnus as well as a colleague and friend. Just a few weeks back he did us the honor of accepting from our College the Doctor of Letters Degree in recognition of his work at Wilkes College and in education in general. In the citation for that ceremony there was a sentence which I wrote and spoke as a fellow college president in Pennsylvania, but which had its origins some years back. It was a sentence which I think all you here would agree with. It read: “Because you serve high purpose without pretence and exercise power without pretension, you are everywhere greeted with joy and are ever recalled with friendly warmth.” This is of course Gene Farley as you have known him. It is Gene Farley as his fellow college administrators have known him now for some twenty-five years in this Commonwealth and throughout the Nation. It is also the way I came to know him about ten years ago at a conference we both attended. He was already a long-time college president and was accustomed to speaking with the mighty. I was then an assistant professor, young and unimpressive and notable chiefly for the lack of wisdom to keep my mouth shut in the presence of my betters. It was there that Gene Farley and I learned that we believed in the same things and stood for the same principles. What I remember very vividly, however, and what he probably would not think of at all, is that this rather imposing “big shot” as I saw him from my worm’s eye view, was willing to give time and friendly attention to the possibly least important member of this conferring group. I am sure that the warmth that binds us in our regard for Gene Farley stems in large part from the simple directness of his response as a human being to other human beings. It is this that pervades his educational thinking. This is what he expressed in the television program on Wilkes College the other day when he ended his remarks by saying that the college song was not merely a college song but a community song. A lot of college presidents might say this‘kind of thing, especially when on the cam14 I In any case, the story goes that young Cattell was one day talking with his daughter who had just received a new rag doll. She was seeking a name for this rag doll and she asked him for suggestions. He suggested that she call it “President.” And she said, “Why, Daddy?” Then he says, “Well, because college presidents will lie in any position.” I think we just have to face up to the fact that Gene Farley can’t meet the require­ ments of that image of the college president. As a matter of fact, I think we have to recognize another possible weakness in him. You know he is a Quaker. Well, you know some characteristics that Quakers are supposed to cultivate. For example, there is that story about a Quaker who was milking a cow. He had no sooner gotten the milk pail full of milk than the cow kicked it over. This infuriated him. He sought some means of expression for his anger Finally he went and stood before the cow and looked her in the eye and said, “Thee knows I am a Friend. Thee knows I cannot beat thee. Thee knows I cannot kicl thee. Thee knows I cannot curse thee. But what thee does not know is that I car sell thee to an Episcopalian.” Any of you who know Gene Farley at all would know that he would never have talkec to that cow that way. He would never turn over any of his problems to anybody else Episcopalian or otherwise. In addition to being uncompromisingly forthright, he i a bit of a fighter. Indeed at first glance one might think that he had a rather un quakerish delight in battle! It is Gene’s character as a fighter that I want to talk about just a couple of minutes It is this feature of him which has made him enormously important in educations work, not only in Wilkes-Barre but throughout the Commonwealth. When I say Gene is a fighter I don’t mean that he likes to hurt people, likes to bea at people, or likes to do damage. It was characteristic of him as an undergraduat that his sport was wrestling. This is a sport in which one tries one’s strength again; the strength of another person under the most stringent rules of fair play. It require strength. It requires nimbleness. It requires endurance. It requires stubborn pu pose. But most markedly it is a sport in which one can exert one s fullest powers wit! out at any stage doing violence to friendly feelings or intentions. And this is precisely the character of Gene Farley’s so-called fighting over the year He has been single-minded in his pursuit of the welfare of Wilkes College, the yout of the community, the community as a whole, education in the Commonwealth. C behalf of that single-minded purpose he has wrestled with one agency and one set problems after another. His career is a long series of locking grips with one difficul after another and holding on tenaciously until the difficulty was overcome. �paign trail.

A wrestler is typiCailv an individualist. The contest of strength between grapplers is of individuals. interest in the sport is in individual development. By the same token Gene Farley has always had the individual, the independent single person and the independent social unit as the beneficiary of his efforts. It is for this reason that beyond Wilkes-Barre he has become in the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities the outstanding leader of the independent colleges and universities. (He has been a leader in, and in 1957-58 was the President of, the Pennsylvania Foundation of Independent Colleges.) He is now the chairman of the Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities of this Commonwealth For four legislative terms he served as Chairman of the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges Legislative Committee; he took part in action after action which furthered education in the liberal arts colleges or which prevented adverse effect on these institutions by blocking or preventing adverse legislation. Among the positive achievements in which he participated was the change in the legislation affecting taxation of bequests. Up to 1957 charities and other collateral beneficiaries of bequests were taxed 15% of the amount of the bequest. In great part because of Gene Farley’s efforts, effective July 1, 1957, this law was changed to exempt from this inheritance tax bequests to institutions, such as colleges, churches, old folks’ homes, orphanages, and so on.

Naturally we are moved by this outpouring of goodwill, but this occasion has a deeper meaning for Eleanor and me. It reminds us of those occasions when the going was uncertain, and you then gave encouragement and support. Without this constant and steadily growing support, I would have faltered long ago. Because I know how much you have done to aid us, I cannot but wonder, if this dinner is not really a testimony to the goals that can be gained, when a group of grand people place the welfare of others, and of the community, ahead of their own personal interest. I think you have done this on many occasions, and it is because you have so frequently demonstrated your willingness to place a creative cause above your own special interests, that I have come to have so much faith in the future of Wilkes and of the community of which it is a part. If Eleanor and I could have our way, we would make this dinner a testimonial of our gratitude to you, who are doing so much for your neighbors and your community — and in so doing, are establishing the foundations for a better tomorrow. In a very real sense, you demonstrate in all of your civic efforts the great ideals upon which our western civilization has been based; and by these efforts, you strengthen this civiliza­ tion in its present struggle for survival. It is difficult to summarize the ideals of a college or of a civilization in a few words, but I would like to try to do so, for I feel that it is these ideals that unite us today and give hope for tomorrow. These ideals are basic to every institution that is committed to the preservation of freedom and to the enrichment of the lives of all men. I would summarize these ideals briefly (and most inadequately) in terms of faith. They are: 1. A college committed to respect for ideas and for individuals is needed everywhere throughout the world. 2. A college dedicated to service can be an asset to the community. 3. A college that awakens and releases the creative and spiritual resources of each of us can unite us in a job that is bigger than any one of us. 4. A college committed to the traditions of freedom must cultivate an atmosphere that will encourage fearless and intelligent inquiry. 5. A college dedicated to community service can do nothing without the support of community groups. These convictions have governed our efforts over the years, and your friendship, and united support, have made possible some real progress. Because of your encourage­ ment and generosity, we can look forward to the advancement of the great educational tasks to which we have committed ourselves. It is my hope that in the few years during which I can still work with you, the gains of the past quarter centurjr may be duplicated. If we can do this, I believe that the impetus of our united efforts ■will assist those who must succeed us. We have been united in an effort to create a college and to rebuild our community. We have dedicated ourselves to these two efforts because of a conviction that re­ spect for individuals and ideas is the cornerstone of freedom, and the key to human progress. It is, I believe, the quest for these great ideals of our common heritage that has united us. In a very real sense, the cause of Wilkes College is the cause of free men everyw here, for only as freedom is cultivated in the home and in the community can freedom sur­ vive in the world. 1 �When it became known that our Community planned to honor Dr. Farley who has contributed so much to the cultural, social and economic life of our Valley __ his many friends expressed their desire to add something of a tangible nature that both he and Mrs. Farley might be able to enjoy.

Both groups contain an unusual number of dedicated persons. Both groups represent diverse backgrounds and diverse viewpoints, but this is good. As one trustee remarked when this diversity was called to his attention, “You don’t make progress unless you have sound differences of opinion. In spite of their differ­ ences, both groups are united in their desire to do a better job for our students, and to build a stronger college.

Although they wish to remain unknown, I cannot let this occasion pass without expressing my gratitude to them. America has been made the great country that she is by a series of creative minorities; the first settlers on the Atlantic seaboard, the founding fathers of the Republic, the pioneers who won the West. These successive sets of creative leaders differed, of course, very greatly in their backgrounds, outlooks, activities, and achievements; but they had one important quality in common: all of them were aristocrats. They were aristocrats in virtue of their creative power, and not by any privilege of inheritance, though some of the founding fathers were aristocrats in conventional sense as well. Others among them, however, were middle-class professional men, and Franklin, who was the outstanding genius in this goodly company, was a self-made man. The truth is that the founding fathers’ social origin is something of secondary importance. The common quality that distinguished them all and brought each of them to the front was their power of creative leadership. In any human society at any time and place and at any stage of cultural development, there is presumably the same average percentage of potentially creative spirits. The question is always: Will this potentiality take effect? Whether a potentially creative minority is going to be­ come an effectively creative one is, in every case, an open question. The answer will depend on whether the minority is sufficiently in tune with the contemporary majority, and the majority with the minority, to establish understanding, confidence, and cooperation between them. The potential leaders cannot give a lead unless the rest of society is ready to follow it. Prophets who have been ‘without honour in their own country’ because they have been ‘before their time’ are no less well-known figures in history than prophets who have received a response that has made the fortune of their mission.

If the people have no vision, the prophet’s genius, through no fault of the prophet’s own, will be as barren as the talent that was wrapped in a napkin and was buried in the earth. This means, in turn, that the people, as well as the prophet, have a responsible part to play. If it is incumbent on the prophet to deliver his message, it is no less incumbent on the people not to turn a deaf ear. It is even more incumbent on them not to make the spiritual climate of their society so adverse to creativity that the life will have been crushed out of the prophet’s potential message before he has had a chance of delivering it. Copyright 1961 by Editorial Projects for Education To give a fair chance to potential creativity is a matter of life and death for any society. This is all-important, because the outstanding creative ability of a fairly small percentage of the population is mankind’s ultimate capital asset, and the only one with which Man has been endowed. 21 �The Creator has withheld from Man the shark s teeth, the bird’s wings, the elephant’s trunk, and the hound s or horse’s racing feet. The creative power planted in a minority of mankind has to do duty for all the marvellous physical assets that are built into every specimen of Man s non-human fellow creatures. If society fails to make the most of this one human asset, or if, worse still, it per­ versely sets itself to stifle it, Man is throwing away his birthright of being the lord of creation and is condemning himself to be, instead, the least effective species on the face of this planet. Whether potential creative ability is to take effect or not in a particular society is a question that will be de­ termined by the character of that society’s institutions, attitudes, and ideals. Potential creative ability can be stifled, stunted, and stultified by the prevalence in society of adverse attitudes of mind and habits of behavior. What treatment is creative ability receiving in our Western World, and particularly in America? There are two present-day adverse forces that are con­ spicuously deadly to creativity. One of these is a wrongheaded conception of the function of democracy. The • other is an excessive anxiety to conserve vested interests, especially the vested interest in acquired wealth. What is the proper function of democracy? True democracy stands for giving an equal opportunity to in­ dividuals for developing their unequal capacities. In a democratic society which does give every individual his fair chance, it is obviously the outstandingly able in­ dividual’s moral duty to make a return to society by using his unfettered ability in a public-spirited way and not just for selfish personal purposes. But society, on its side, has a moral duty to ensure that the individual’s potential ability is given free play. If, on the contrary, society sets itself to neutralise outstanding ability, it will have failed in its duty to its members, and it will bring upon itself a retribution for which it will have only itself to blame. This is why the difference between a right and a wrong-headed interpretation of the requirements of democracy is a matter of crucial importance in the de­ cision of a society’s destiny. There is at least one current notion about democracy that is wrong-headed to the point of being disastrously perverse. This perverse notion is that to have been born with an exceptionally large endowment of innate ability is tantamount to having committed a large pre-natal of­ fence against society. It is looked upon as being an of­ fence because, according to this wrong-headed view of democracy, inequalities of any and every kind are un­ democratic. The gifted child is an offender, as well as the unscrupulous adult who had made a fortune at his neighbours’ expense by taking some morally illegitimate economic advantage of them. ’— 2----- All offenders, of every kind, against democracy must be put down indiscrimL nately according to this misguided perversion of the true democratic faith. There have been symptoms of this unfortunate attitude in the policy pursued by some of the local educational authorities in Britain since the Second World War. From their ultra-egalitarian point of view, the clever child is looked askance at as a kind of capitalist. His offence seems the more heinous because of its precocity, and the fact that the child’s capital asset is his God-given ability 22 and not any inherited or acquired hoard of material goods, is not counted to him for righteousness. He posseses an advantage over his fellows, and this is enough to con­ demn him, without regard to the nature of the advantage that is in question. It ought to be easier for American educational authori­ ties to avoid making this intellectual and moral mistake, since in America capitalists are not disapproved of. If the child were a literal grown-up capitalist, taking ad­ vantage of an economic pull to beggar his neighbour, he would not only be tolerated but would probably also be admired, and public opinion would be reluctant to em­ power the authorities to curb his activities. Unfortunately for the able American child, ’‘egg-head” is as damning a word in America as “capitalist” is in the British welfare state; and I suspect that the able child fares perhaps still worse in America than he does in Britain. If the educational policy of the English-speaking coun­ tries does persist in this course, our prospects will be unpromising. The clever child is apt to be unpopular with his contemporaries anyway. His presence among them raises the sights for the standard of endeavour and achievement. This is, of course, one of the many useful services that the outstandingly able individual performs for his society at every stage of his career; but its useful­ ness will not appease the natural resentment of his duller or lazier neighbours. In so far as the public authorities intervene between the outstanding minority and the runof-the-mill majority at the school age, they ought to make it their concern to protect the able child, not to penalise him. He is entitled to protection as a matter of sheer social justice; and to do him justice happens to be also in the public interest, because his ability is a public asset for the community as well as a private one for the child himself. The public authorities are therefore committing a two-fold breach of their public duty if, instead of foster­ ing ability, they deliberately discourage it. In a child, ability can be discouraged easily; for children are even more sensitive to hostile public opinion than adults are, and are even readier to purchase, at almost any price, the toleration that is an egalitarian-minded society's alluring reward for poor-spirited conformity. The price, however, is likely to be a prohibitively high one, not only for the frustrated individual himself but for his step-motherly society. Society will have put itself in danger, not just of throwing away a precious asset, but of saddling itself with a formidable liability. When crea­ tive ability is thwarted, it will not be extinguished; it is more likely to be given an anti-social turn. The frustrated able child is likely to grow up with a conscious or un­ conscious resentment against the society that has done him an irreparable injustice, and his repressed ability may be diverted from creation to retaliation. If and when this happens, it is likely to be a tragedy for the frustrated individual and for the repressive society alike. And it will have been the society, not the individual, that has been to blame for this obstruction of God’s or Nature’s purpose. This educational tragedy is an unnecessary one. It is shown to be unnecessary by the example of countries in whose educational system outstanding ability is honoured, encouraged, and aided. This roll of honour includes countries with the most diverse social and cultural tradi­ tions. Scotland, Germany, and Confucian China all stand . , on the list.

This activity is salutary for society. It is, indeed, essential for the maintenance of society’s health; for the one thing that is certain about human affairs is that they are perpetually on the move, and the work of creative spirits is what gives society a chance of directing its in­ evitable movement along constructive instead of destruc­ tive lines. A creative spirit works like yeast in dough. But this valuable social service is condemned as high treason in a society where the powers that be have set themselves to stop life’s tide from flowing. This enterprise is fore-doomed to failure. The classic illustration of this historical truth is the internal social history of Japan during her two hundred years and more of self-imposed insulation from the rest of the world. The re­ gime in Japan that initiated and maintained this policy did all that a combination of ingenuity with ruthlessness could do to keep Japanese life frozen in every field of activity. In Japan under this dispensation, the penality for most kinds of creativity was death. Yet the experience of two centuries demonstrated that this policy was inherently incapable of succeeding. Long before Commodore Perry first cast anchor in Yedo Bay, an immense internal revolu­ tion had taken place in the mobile depths of Japanese life below the frozen surface. Wealth, and, with it, the reality of power, had flowed irresistibly from the pockets of the feudal lords and their retainers into the pockets of the unobtrusive but irrepressible business men. There would surely have been a social revolution in Japan before the end of the nineteenth century, even if the West had never rapped upon her door. The Tokugawa regime in Japan might possibly have saved itself by mending its ways in good time if it had ever heard of King Canute’s ocular demonstration of the impossibility of stopping the tide by uttering a word of command. In present-day America the story is familiar, and it would profit her now to take it to heart.

Among American critics of the present-day American way of life, it is a common­ place nowadays to lament that the conventionally approv­ ed career for an American born into the affluent majority of the American people is to make money as the em­ ployee of a business corporation within the rigid frame­ work of the existing social and economic order. This dismal picture has been painted so brilliantly by American hands that a foreign observer has nothing to add to it. The foreign observer will, however, join the chorus of American critics in testifying that this'is not the kind of attitude and ideal that America needs in her present crisis. If this new concept of Americanism were the true one, the pioneers, the founding fathers, and the original settlers would all deserve to be prosecuted and condemned post­ humously by the Congressional committee on un-American activities. The alternative possibility is that the new concept stands condemned in the light of the historic one; and this is surely the truth. America rose to greatness as a revolutionary community, following the lead of creative leaders who welcomed and initiated timely and construc­ tive changes, instead of wincing at the prospect of them. In the course of not quite two centuries, the American Revolution has become world-wide. The shot fired in April 1775 has been “heard around the world” with a vengeance. It has waked up the whole human race. The Revolution is proceeding on a world-wide scale today, and a revolutionary world-leadership is what is now needed. It is ironic and tragic that, in an age in which the whole world has come to be inspired by the original and authentic spirit of Americanism, America herself should have turned her back on this, and should have become the arch-con­ servative power in the world after having made history as the arch-revolutionary one. What America surely needs now is a return to those original ideals that have been the sources of her greatness. The ideals of ‘the organisation man’ would have been abhorrent to the original settlers, the founding fathers, and the pioneers alike. The economic goal proposed in the Virginia Declaration of Rights is not “affluence”; it is “frugality.” The pioneers were not primarily concerned with money-making; if they had been, they could never have achieved what they did. America’s need, and the world’s need, today, is a new burst of American pioneering, and this time not just within the confines of a single con­ tinent but all round the globe. America’s manifest destiny in the next chapter of her history is to help the indigent majority of mankind to struggle upwards towards a better life than it has ever dreamed of in the past. The spirit that is needed fof embarking on this mission is the spirit of the mneteenthcentury American Christian missionaries. If this spirit is to prevail, America must treasure and foster all the creative ability that she has in her. 23 �The Wilkes College Story On John Chancellor’s “Today” Program. On Wednesday morning, November 8, 1961, at 8:47 o’clock, the John Chancellor "Today” program brought to thous­ ands of television viewers on the National Broadcasting Company network the “Wilkes College Story.” If you were one of the many alumni, notified by postal, who saw the capsule, no doubt it brought you a certain nostalgia of undergraduate days. From others who never heard of Wilkes College before the show was aired, it brought congratulatory messages. So much for the tremendous impact the effort commanded. III 117 MELS The filmed segment of “Today” consumed just about seven minutes, yet it involved more than two working days for the NBC production crew who arrived on the campus the week before the telecast. Heading the vanguard the previous Wednesday was Paul Conyngham, “Today’s” crack roving reporter. Met at the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Airport by John Whitby and John Chwalek, both of whom were directly responsible for NBC’s interest in the College, Mr. Conyngham began script preparation for the program which was to be aired the following week. Meeting with Dr. Farley and members of the Administration and later with the heads of various departments, the announcer­ producer mapped out his production schedule for the following day. MJ....w BEHEAD In an interview with Dr. Farley, the President emphasized the important role Wilkes plays in community develop­ ment and brought into focus how community growth parallels that of the College, and vice versa. He pointed to the persuasive force engendered by inaugurating a Graduate Division leading to a Master Degree in Chemis­ try and in Physics. This, the President said, has already proved invaluable in attracting industry to the community. The new RCA plant in Crestwood Industrial Park is con­ crete proof of this. Moving into other areas of College activities as they relate to the Community, the NBC sound cameras brought to the Nation the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee, Area Research Center, and the Institute of Municipal Government. Camera lenses watched an LMC committee meeting, exposed a police course in action, roamed around central city, and through the entire program, the vital force of Wilkes College was felt. Here was a College that was unique, and because of its uniqueness, it was selected by “Today” from hundreds of other independent colleges to call the Nation’s attention to the importance of higher education to community growth and progress. And its impact upon viewers was great. From Maine, California, Florida, Arizona, and other states of the Union, letters came to the College. All of them praised the program; some requested information about the College. Certainly,, no one can deny that Wilkes College won thousands of friends. Only with the passage of time will one be able to determine how many alumni were added because of “Today.” 24 Above: John Chwalek, Guidance Counsellor (left), and Paul Conyngham (right) lend moral support to NBC’s camerman as he captures an on-campus scene.

Co-Chairman, Russell Williams, ’50 and Eugene Roth, ’57, and their committee kept the program running smoothly. Faculty members, alumni and guests from all the chapter areas soon filled the Ballroom and an atmosphere of warm greetings and renewed acquaintances prevailed. Theta Delta Rho, women’s sorority at Wilkes, provided approp­ riate decorations for the event. Promptly at 10:00 p. m. the officers, executive committee, and chapter representatives convened in Parlor “E” for a brief meeting. Immediately afterwards, the large gathering in the Crystal Ballroom was brought to order for a brief meeting by Clayton Bloomburg, ’49, out-going President of the Association.

This testimonial brings sharply into focus the command­ ing stature of a man who has worked unselfishly and unstintingly for the College and the Community. Dr. Farley came to Wilkes-Barre twenty-five years ago to assume the presidency of Wilkes. What he has ac­ complished both at the College and in the Community is there for all to see: <evidence of the cooperative efforts between College and Community in rebuilding the economy of the area and in strengthening and extending the program of education and research at the College. Wilkes Alumni have benefited from this relationship, and, in consequence, have done outstanding work in graduate schools and have contributed constructive leadership in their own communities. To date hundreds of citizens of the Community have made reservations for the forthcoming testimonial for Dr. Farley. Article VII 1.

The accompanying cross section through Wilkes-Barre indicates how the folded rocks form the Valley depres­ sion. On either side of the Susquehanna flood plain, the low-lying river-built valley floor, are mountains which rim the Valley except where cut by the river at West Pittston and Shickshinny. The outer mountain consists of the buff-colored Pocono sandstone, a granular material deposited in Carboniferous time about two million years ago. Overlying this is the soft, red, sandy Mauch Chunk shale, easily eroded to make a little valley between Penobscot and Wilkes-Barre mountains. On top of this is the hard quartzitic Pottsville conglomerate of Penn­ sylvanian time, and above it are shales interbedded with rich coal seams, the results of great folding, compressing forces acting on soft organic material from the first forests and swamps. The partly decayed vegetative contents of these swamps were chemically changed and pushed into deep synclines during a world-wide move­ ment of tremendous importance in geological history, the Appalachian Revolution at the close of the Paleozoic era. Carbohydrates manufactured by plants using solar energy thousands of years ago were converted to hydro­ carbons in the form of anthracite; today this provides heat and energy for domestic fuel and industry. The theory of the botanical origin of coal is borne out by leaf, stem, and tree trunk fossils found in carbonaceous shales in the mines and around Nanticoke.

Had he had the time and opportunity to be exposed to it he would have found it fascinating and he would have been pleased, not shocked. What does shock the average Western visitor is not Asian culture but its low standard of living. It is very easy for an American to confuse culture with economics.

All Theater Alumni are urged to attend the meeting at Chase Theater, October 21 at noon, when Dr. Farley will outline the College's plans for the theater. This past May the Wilkes College Theater Alumni marked its first birthday with the production.

This pro­ duction served to increase the enthusiasm the members have shown in strengthening the association. Past Presi­ dent Bert Stein states, "Our's is a progressive organiza­ tion. and our work on the campus in such activities is but a prologue to what we hope eventually to do. Our thoughts are constantly on the future fulfillment of our goals.” Alumni who wish to receive information concerning the Wilkes College Theater Alumni are requested to fill out the following form and mail it to Alfred S.

From Prospect Rock, near the top, a clear day affords a spectacular panoramic view from West Pittston to Shickshinny. This rock is an outcrop of the resistant Pottsville conglomerate which forms the mountain di­ rectly across, appearing level, at about 2000 , except where notches indicate the presence of streams cutting through the ridge. This even surface, seen in many parts of Pennsylvania, represents the Schooley peneplain surface, "peneplain” meaning “almost a level plain" and Schooley being the name given to that surface which was formerly the height of the whole area. The Sus­ quehanna River first flowed on this, winding along on a course unhampered by ridges until it gradually cut its present gorge through the rim mountains at West Pitts­ ton, Nanticoke, and Shickshinny. It is therefore an example of superposed stream, having been superimposed upon the mountains and valleys when they were buried beneath sediments which have since been eroded away. This explains why the river, flowing southeast from New York State, cuts through the hardest rocks in the area instead of flowing around them on a path of less re­ sistance.

The third floor was the residence of Dr. Farley and his family. If I remember correctly, they also had a German shepherd dog, Mickey.

On the first floor we had classrooms, used mostly by the Economics and English Departments. At the main entrance, today’s circulation office, stood a concert grand piano. Afternoons when I was filing cards on the second floor, I could hear an English teacher, both a poet and beatnik at heart, play Debussy.

The reference room was in the today’s locked backdate-periodical rooms, and the rest of the books in one or two rooms on the second floor. The reading tables were in there too. Our collection comprised less than 5,000 volumes, and only a few students came in to take out books. 1 he loyal student patrons whom I remember were Joe Kramer. Robert Miller. Joe Savitz, and George F. Ermel. J o my delight, Herr Elwood Disque, always interested in books that would bring the culture of other lands close to our students, was ordering works in Ger­ man and French. Dr. Mary Craig, very much in love with Milton and Shakespeare, added to our collection everything published on these two poets. The onrush of World War II veterans made it impera­ tive for us to expand rather rapidly, and today we have more than 56,000 volumes. The expansion seems so rapid that at times Mr. Jervis comes in. looks at the cracks of our overburdened ceilings, and shakes his head. He has been doing it for the last ten years. Finally this summer we had to take out one reading table because additional shelving had to take preference. Some of our graduate-program scientific periodicals are on temporary loan in Stark Hall, because we have run out of space completely.

The small, overcrowded library with the everyday problems was gladly left be­ hind for the wide horizons of the far-away continents. I was already critical of the noise in the small reading rooms, of the turn-over on the staff, of the missing books, and of the everyday' routines of office life. Then with the speed of a jet I was thrust upon the under­ developed countries with beggars, dusty roads, and hungry children. My librarian's heart cried out and tears came to my eyes when I tried to read in the dark, dingy' rooms of university’ and college libraries. I re­ member particularly’ one university library where I helped out a few times. Only one librarian with a Master of Library Science degree supervised the entire operation of this old. unventilated building, and two and a half qualified American librarians taught courses in library science. The card catalogue consisted of home-made cards, in pencil, or in various colored inks, according to the timely mood of the cataloguer. The readers had no open-shelf privileges. After an absence of ten months, with so many vivid and painful impressions of low standards of living, of people hungry for food and books, of dark, uninviting class­ rooms and reading rooms.

VUJICA 19 �ful philosophical personalities I have ever met — and philosophers are not lacking in color and idiosyncracies. AMONG PAKISTANI PHILOSOPHERS {Continued iiom page 6) portant role in the molding of human beings and, in con­ sequence, the differences between peoples and cultures are great. But compared with what men and women the world over have in common, the differences in color, race, religion, and customs sink into insignificance. An ed­ ucated Pakistani and an educated American have much more in common than has an educated American with an uneducated American or an educated Pakistani with an illiterate villager. Prof. Dr. Govinda Chandra Dev of Dacca University is a man whose outward appearance and simplicity re­ mind one of Socrates. Visualize him wearing the Greek toga instead of the Indian dhoti, and you have Socrates walking in our midst. The moment, however one hears him talk or reads his "Idealism: a New Defence and a New Application," "the Oriental” in him vanishes, and a new personality emerges; a man of wide and deep knowledge, equally versed in the modern Western phil­ osophical currents as he is in the Pak-Indian thought, a man of incisive mind and delightful wit. In his rich conversational style, he succeeds in bringing philosophy from its lofty ivory tower pedestal down to earth. He has the happy faculty of making highflung metaphysical puzzles appear simple and as living as today’s headlines. Even if he were not deeply steeped in the Indian tradi­ tion, his philosophy, I think, would be Idealism, the view that the spirit not only matters, but matters most. It fits his "tender-minded” temperament and his humanitarian bent. But Dr. Dev is no "respecter of persons,” no man to follow blindly outworn formulas. He bravely sets out to reinterpret the Advaita Idealism so as to place it in the contemporary context. His is an up-to-date Idealism, freshly sought out and presented, defended by new evidence and offered in a new application. Never was I more aware of this simple truth than when I came into contact with the people of my own profes­ sion — the Pakistani philosophers. I was the American representative and one of the speakers at the Pakistan Philosophical Congress in Karachi. This provided me a splendid chance to meet a great number of my philo­ sophical colleagues from both West and East Pakistan. In their company I felt perfectly "at home,” — indeed no less than I am at annual meetings of the American Philosophical Association. Their problems were my own problems and their philosophical language was my own. The many outstanding Pakistani philosophers whose in­ tellectual fellowship and personal friendship I have been privileged to enjoy will forgive me If I single out for mention only a few. Prof. M. M. Sharif, Director of the Islamic Institute in Lahore, is the heart and soul of the Pakistani Philosophical Congress, whose founder and President he is. This patriarch of the Pakistani philoso­ phers has the contagious enthusiasm of youth. I have met very few gentlemen with more charm and personal magnetism than Prof. Sharif. He was no stranger to me. I had read his articles in "Contemporary Indian Philosophy,” in which he states his philosophical position as one of the prominent thinkers of pre-Partition India. He also has the distinction of being the General President of the Indian Philosophical Congress. He is a profound metaphysician and has made original contributions in the field of aesthetics and philosophy of education. In the good old Hegelian tradition Dr. Dev also ventures a novel synthesis. He believes that intellect and intuition, matter and spirit, science and religion, instead of being sharply dychotomised and locked up in a sort of a in­ tellectual cold-war battle, form an organic unity. The endeavor to find room for intuition and religious values in this rationalistic age characterizes the thinking of all philosophers on the Pak-Indian subcontinent. If they are successful, they will make a significant contri­ bution to contemporary thought. The West, it seems, has largely given up intuition as a source of knowledge. The result is an uneasy truce between reason and faith and a seemingly inexorable drift towards ever-widening secularisation of life. His right hand at the Institute of Islamic Culture, Mr. B. A. Dar, is a man of considerable learning and a bril­ liant writer. His lucid exposition of Iqbal’s philosophy and the “Religion Thought of Sayyed Ahmad Khan” have contributed tremendously to my understanding of these two leading Muslim thinkers. Idealism in the past has too frequently tended to under­ mine and belittle material values and to create excessive other-worldliness. Dr. Dev is painfully aware of this, and he has undertaken the truly Herculean task of eras­ ing that “blot" from the otherwise shining face of Idealism. Dr. Dev tries hard to formulate a philosophy which takes into account the needs of the spirit and the body, and which offers an intellectual justification for man s natural craving to enjoy in abundance his daily bread without forgetting that “man does not live by bread alone.” Another Pakistani philosopher for whose views I have great respect although disagreeing with them thoroughly, is Prof. C. A. Qadir of the Government College in Lahore. He is a follower of Logical Positivism, a modern school of philosophy which right now enjoys great vogue in the West. Aside from any merits or demerits of this school of thought, I was pleasantly surprised to find that in far-off Pakistan it has found enthusiastic sup­ porters. Pakistani thinkers are determined not just to sit on the laurels of the past achievements, quoting and expounding Iqbal, but are right up in the forefront of the contemporary philosophical battles. The greatness and glory of Eastern philosophy have always been its insistence on the primacy of the spiritual over the material. By tradition and temperament the philosophers of the East are best suited for the role of proponents of these values in our materialistic age. May they play that role well. If they do, the East’s finest hour” may yet come. In East Pakistan lives and teaches one of the most colour­ 20 {Continued tzom page 13) Mrs. Carl F. Juris Mrs. Richard B.

The moment, however one hears him talk or reads his "Idealism: a New Defence and a New Application,” “the Oriental” in him vanishes, and a new personality emerges; a man of wide and deep knowledge, equally versed in the modern Western phil­ osophical currents as he is in the Pak-Indian thought, a man of incisive mind and delightful wit. In his rich conversational style, he succeeds in bringing philosophy from its lofty ivory tower pedestal down to earth. He has the happy faculty of making highflung metaphysical puzzles appear simple and as living as today's headlines. Even if he were not deeply steeped in the Indian tradi­ tion, his philosophy, I think, would be Idealism, the view that the spirit not only matters, but matters most. It fits his “tender-minded” temperament and his humanitarian bent. But Dr. Dev is no “respecter of persons," no man to follow blindly outworn formulas. He bravely sets out to reinterpret the Advaita Idealism so as to place it in the contemporary context. His is an up-to-date Idealism, freshly sought out and presented, defended by new evidence and offered in a new application. re aware of this simple truth than when :act with the people of my own profestani philosophers.

He believes that intellect and intuition, matter and spirit, science and religion, instead of being sharply dychotomised and locked up in a sort of a in­ tellectual cold-war battle, form an organic unity. The endeavor to find room for intuition and religious values in this rationalistic age characterizes the thinking of all philosophers on the Pak-Indian subcontinent. If they are successful, they will make a significant contri­ bution to contemporary thought. The West, it seems, has largely given up intuition as a source of knowledge.

Idealism in the past has too frequently tended to under­ mine and belittle material values and to create excessive other-worldliness. Dr. Dev is painfully aware of this, and he has undertaken the truly Herculean task of eras­ ing that "blot" from the otherwise shining face of Idealism. Dr. Dev tries hard to formulate a philosophy which takes into account the needs of the spirit and the body, and which offers an intellectual justification for man s natural craving to enjoy in abundance his daily bread without forgetting that “man does not live by bread alone.” li philosopher for whose views I have ough disagreeing with them thoroughly, Qadir of the Government College in Follower of Logical Positivism, a modern >hy which right now enjoys great vogue ;ide from any merits or demerits of this it, I was pleasantly surprised to find akistan it has found enthusiastic supni thinkers are determined not just to of the past achievements, quoting and , but are right up in the forefront of r philosophical battles.

Your success is the only true measure of our success, and the strength of the College will ulti­ mately depend upon your loyal interest and support. Today and in the future, there are four means by which you can help strengthen Wilkes — 1. Your counsel can help us to develop the strong college that I am sure you desire. 2. Your influence can help us to attract outstand­ ing students who will assure the continuing development of intellectual interests. 3. Your personal loyalty can encourage and sustain the faculty. 4. Your annual contributions can provide the means of our continued development, and these same contributions will motivate other friends to continue their support. As I face the last years of my long association with you, I am challenged, and sometimes disturbed, by the magnitude of the task that lies ahead; but simultaneously, I am encouraged and sustained by the encouragement that comes from loyal and devoted friends in our Alumni, our Faculty, our Trustees and our Community. With your help, we can attain the intellectual, spiritual, and material goals that have been set for the coming decade. For your warm friendship and loyal support, I am most grateful.

But, I am saying that to the degree you leave here with the idea that your education is complete, to that degree you are a failure. You will be a failure to the degree you neglect to read a book, or to vote; to a degree that you sit stupefied before a television set and speculate whether Matt Dillon can outgun Wyatt Earp: and to the degree you adapt the attitude that the affairs of the world or your community are in a sorry state. But. 'What can one person do about it'?" Bob Riley told the graduates that Commencement was not the end of education, but the beginning. “You have been given a framework upon which to begin your ed­ ucation. I hope no one here considers himself an educated person. This is an ideal you can approach, but never quite reach. But it is a major responsibility of yours to further the release and development of whatever talents you individually possess. (Continued on page 4) 3 �some of these self-imposed limitations that I wish to speak today.” (Continued from page 3) Throughout much of his address, Professor Riley touched another psychological term—homeostasis—which is upon defined as the restoration of balance. Its principle means that a man will work for food and drink and maintain a chemical balance within his body. ' But what then. WITH THE CLASSES . . The Moravian College president stated that are victims of handicaps we have not learned to i recognize for what they are. He enumerated them as (1) the" fact that too much has been given us and too much done for us, (2) that our standard of values is too materialistic1 What is left for a man once he has been able to satisfy these basic and vital biological needs? Is he to sit about in his steady, balanced, pleasurable state contemplating and (3) that we fail to realize that our greatest asset is a strong, wholesome faith in God. his navel?” "A sound faith in God does a number of things for a human being that nothing else can do. It gives him the clearest possible definition of the difference between right and wrong. It gives him the strength and courage to do what he knows is right. Here, the psychology head said, there is a need for self­ actualization. A need to move beyond the pleasurable state of homeostasis and to face the problem of extend­ ing and developing personality, to further the release of personal resources as yet untapped. According to the speaker, this is not a new idea. Actually, the Hindus taught it in claiming that most men have four desires: pleasure, desire for success, duty to fulfill obligations, and finally, a search for understanding. "Faith in God gives him driving power to live his life with zest and high purpose based on the strong convic­ tion that God has created him for a purpose and is in­ terested in helping him to fulfill that purpose.” Contrasting higher education in Europe with that in America, Dr. Haupert informed his audience that one significant fact emerges: the high percentage of the American young people who are earning all or part of their college expenses. This percentage may be as high as 75 percent. "I hope this labored point is becoming clear. It is that the achievement of a balanced steady state might not be the goal you should strive for. The satisfaction of our basic needs should only release us for what Cannon calls, ‘the priceless unessentials of life’. And it will be these priceless unessentials which will bring us to the actualiza­ tion of ourselves, and which will bring us, according to our means, the achievement and creativity we desire.” AMERICAN YOUTH IS SOUND "This alone, along with other facts that may be cited, points clearly in the direction of the soundness of Ameri­ can youth. Furthermore, I have often observed that those who voice doubts in American young people are not the ones who are in close association with our young men and young women. TROUBLE IS CHRONIC Referring to Laos, Cuba, Viet Nam, and Montgomery, Alabama, Professor Riley said, “I do not wish to belittle or minimize the tensions of our times. I tell you I am deeply concerned about developments in the world about me. I am worried about our racial problems and the impact these might have on the emergent nations of Africa. Savage, bestial, and unprovoked assaults by teen-age gang members, which make it unsafe to walk in many public parks make me anxious indeed . . . But trouble is not spasmodic; trouble is chronic. Trouble is not an unfair and capricious interruption in the normal processes of life. Trouble is life. “For some strange reason . . . many an American mother and father seem to have told each other, ‘We do not want our children to go through what we had to go through’, not realizing that the difficult struggles of their earlier years developed their backbone and their char­ acter to a point of real strength. As a result of this type of thinking, many young people have been deprived o the kind of obstacles which create character and back­ bone and strength to be a real contender in the contests of life. 1 All) this is why I can now say that commencement is not an end to your education; you are to be congratulated tor your self-actualization to this point, for the very v.-ord ‘commencement’ means a beginning.” The Church, the various professions, education, bus: ness and industry, government — all of them need t e leadership represented by the kind of tough human beings who were willing to sail the Atlantic to found new homes in the Western World, or who had the courage to ac the risks of the Oregon Trail.

ANNUAL APPEAL WILL PROBABLY EXCEED $100,000 . . A RECAP OF ALUMNI ACTIVITIES HOMECOMING 1961 CAMPAIGN FACTS Gordon E. Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary Last year some 450 alumni returned to Wilkes for the 13th Annual Homecoming festivities. The response to this annual event has been so overwhelming that plans for this year's Homecoming must, of necessity, include larger facilities. These plans are near completion and soon you will be brought up to date. Homecoming this year is scheduled for October 20-21, so why not make plans now or at least reserve these dates for a memorable weekend at Wilkes. Our current alumni campaign which will continue throughout the month of July has been very encouraging. There are, however, some important facets of this cam­ am sure sure. paign which I would like to discuss with you. II am you will appreciate a factual and direct discussion o these problems. As you know, the goal for our 1961 annual appeal is $100,000. These funds are to be used as follows: scholar­ ships to assist promising students ■— $70,000; and t e further development of the graduate program in p YS1 and chemistry — $30,000. At the present time $97,621.00 has been reached, We :ks if anticipate surpassing the goal in the next few wee several things can be done.

These funds were desig­ nated by this year’s senior class for equipping the training rooms at the new athletic field. The training equipment is mobile and can be used either at the gymnasium or at the athletic park. The 1961 class gift was a great boost to the current effort among Wilkes alumni to help our Alma Mater during the current annual campaign.

It is our hope to enlist the support of Wilkes alumni from various fields to meet with the senior class for an informal two-hour session. The objective of this program will be to discuss with seniors, and we might add, future alumni, some of the initial problems that a college graduate en­ counters as he takes his place in the business, professional, or graduate school world. Undoubtedly, there are many questions seniors will ask, and through the practical ex­ perience of our alumni who have encountered similar situations we hope to be of real assistance to these future Wilkes alumni.

In a message to alumni, Chancellor Samuel Gould of the University of California put it this way: "You are the distilled essence of the college ... If anything lasting is to be achieved ... it must be reflected in you.” If Wilkes is to win intellectual victories or make cultural advances, it must be through the lives of its alumni and through their belief in the mission of the College. As alumni our relation with our College is reciprocal. Direct contact with the world of learning can be main­ tained through it. And through us, V/ilkes can maintain an intimate relationship with the world beyond college, the world which it is meant to serve and to help build. 1961 MEMORIAL GIFT I am sure you will note with interest and pride the recent memorial gift of $1,329.00 to the College by our most recent alumni, the Cass of 1961.

He had been ap­ pointed a delegate of the United States and greeted the Congress accordingly. Many countries, including Rus­ sia, France, Germany and India, were represented, and the Wilkes College faculty member found himself in­ volved in a cold war, philosophical battle with the Soviet delegate. The American ambassador in Karachi con­ gratulated him on the way he defended our democratic way of life. Throughout India, Dr. Vujica appeared as guest lecturer at the University of Punjab and the University of Dacca. Both American and Pakistan journals have published his articles; and there are more to come. In the Vujica's Wilkes-Barre home, the head of the De­ partment of Philosophy and Religion, told ALUMNUS it was his interest in man's religions that drew him to Pakistan, for here, in the heart of Asia where all re­ ligions originated, was a fertile field for his search. With India the cradle of religion, Hinduism presented itself to the world travelers when they visited the modern Birla Temple in Delhi. They witnessed too the burning ghats on the riverbank of the Ganges in Benares, the holy city; and spent many days visiting many of the 1,500 temples of Bhubaneswar which are dedicated to fertility and love. MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES VISITED From Portugal the couple moved into Spain, Italy and Greece before continuing to the Near East. Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, which are predominantly Muslim countries, were part of their itinerary. Here, Nasserism appeared to be popular among Arab students with whom the Wilkes educator held long discussions concerning political and religious problems. In Nepal and in northern India, Dr. Vujica saw Buddhism at work, a religion which has all but disappeared in India, yet is popular among Tibetan refugees. Here, Dr. Vujica was granted an interview with the China Lama, a representative of the renowned Dalai-Lama, and earned friendship with Muslims, Hindus, Parsis and Sikhs. In Lebanon, Mrs. Vujica "fell in love with” the beautiful campus of the American University at Beiruth. The university library, built recently, made a deep impression upon her as she browsed through the book racks. Much to their regret, the couple was unable to cross over to Israel due to the vagaries of the Middle East situation. So, on to Pakistan! RETURN VIA PACIFIC The Vujica s return trip by the way of the Pacific routed them through the colorful and fascinating countries of Southeast Asia. They arrived in Burma just as the threeday festival of the New Year was in full swing. The elaborate Buddhist temples of Rangoon and Bangkok left a lasting impression on the American visitors; also the recently discovered ruins of Angkor Wat in Cam­ bodia. In sheer size and grandeur, there is nothing like it in the world”, they both agreed. Pakistan is an Islamic state of some 90 million people. It was separated from India after World War II. Islam, of course, is no new religion to the Vujicas as both were born in Bosnia, a province of Yogoslavia where onefourth of the population is Muslim. As they walked the dusty streets, the call to prayer chanted five times a day by the muezzin from the minarets recalled vividly their childhood days in Sarajevo—'as did the open markets and veiled women.

Dr. Daniel Detwiler was consulted on all mat­ ters concerning the electrical equipment before any pur­ chases were made. The transplanting technique was demonstrated by Dr. Nauss in March. This was done using sarcoma 180 tumor growing in a host mouse. The tumor mice were purchased from the Jackson Memorial Laboratories in Bar Harbor, Maine. Subsequent experiments showed that mice of a particular strain have to be purchased in order to get optimal and consistent tumor growth. A heterogeneous strain of laboratory mouse was used in the preliminary experiments in which the transplanting technique was perfected, but it was found that tumor growth after the transplant was not maintained at con­ stant rates in these unknown mice. It is necessary to have inbred strains of homogeneous genetic makeup for the experiments to be conducted this summer. These special mice and the tumor hosts are now on order and actual treatment should begin shortly. Before the study began, considerable library research in the areas of tumor growth and transplanting had been accomplished. Various items of equipment have been acquired or constructed, two major techniques of tumor transplantation have been demonstrated by Dr. Thomas J. Nauss and successfully performed by the researchers, and trial runs of the electrical apparatus have been made.

Twenty-seven of these new restrainers were constructed by Plastic Arts Co., Wilkes-Barre, for these experiments. The transplanting involves sacrificing the host animal with diethylether and then shaving the tumor area. Then the skin around the tumor is incised, and the tumor is removed and placed in a solution of normal saline. The acceptor mouse is shaved at the base of the tail. The tumor is sliced and then loaded into a trocar, a long hollow needle. The trocar was inserted in the shaved area and pushed up into the region of the scapula. This trocar inserts the tumor tissue subcutaneously and does not injure any vital areas of the mouse. The site of the implant of the tumor is intentionally kept as far from the site of the injection as possible.

Antinnes of Forty Fort left with the College a phenomenal record in intercollegiate athletics during the four years he trod the paths of the campus. History to date places him in the enviable position of being the greatest athlete to don the blue and gold uni­ form of the Colonels. Specifically, Marv excelled in football and wrestling. The Forty Fort native is shown in his Yeager Avenue home where the livingroom mantle displays his trophies and medals. He is the first Colonel athlete to win the Athlete of the Year Award; the Outstanding Athlete Award, presented by the Beacon, and the Gallagher Award which came to him two years in succession.

After the trocar is inserted, a solid steel rod,—a cannula—is pushed through the trocar and forces the tumor cells into the mouse. The trocar and the can­ nula are then removed. The areas are then swabbed with zepharin chloride, and throughout the entire opera­ tion sterile conditions are maintained. The groups in which tumor induction, or increased growth, will be attempted will differ from the group in which regression is being attempted only with respect to the placing of the positive and negative electrodes relative to the tumor mass. Treatment is tentatively scheduled to last ten days after which time all animals will be sacrificed and quantitative and histological studies of the tumors will be made. In later experiments current and voltage will be varied, as well as treatment time and growth period. If time and results permit, these experi­ ments may also be performed with various other tumors to determine whether similar results, assuming the initial experiments are successful, can be obtained with various types of tumors. Upon receipt of the mice, a series of experiments will begin. Throughout the summer four or five series will be run, each consisting of 27 mice. When the mice are received and allowed a period of time to acclimate, trans­ plants of the sarcom 180 will be made. After a 72 hour growth period, the mice will be checked for tumor takes and then randomly divided into three groups of nine mice each. These three groups will constitute (1) the controls, (2) the group in which the tumors will be in­ hibited, and (3) the group in which the tumors will be What's Your Line!

The nature of these happenings run the gauntlet from projects in­ volving community response to projects which concern only the people of Wilkes and their friends. It is the purpose of this column to try to inform you of as many of these activities as we can which would be of special interest to you. the alumni. The music department of the College has been in active form presenting to both the College and community a number of varied musical programs. During February they presented the Temple University Band, the Oberlin College Wind Ensemble, and played host to the All­ State Region II Orchestra Festival. This last event was composed of approximately 125 high school students from eastern Pennsylvania. They climaxed a busy week­ end of practicing and social events with a concert in Item Temple. Another musical event recently held on campus was the appearance of Dave Brubeck and his concert jazz quartet. This concert, held in the early part of April, was received by a capacity audience at the gymnasium. The sophomore class sponsored this performance in a continuation of a program to bring nationally-known entertainers to the valley. The Northeastern Regional Intercollegiate Conference on Government Model State Legislature convened on campus March 12. They were the guests of the College chapter of the I.C.G. whose permanent chairman is Miss Elizabeth Hoeschele. senior. The Northeast Regional Director of the I.C.G. is a Wilkes junior, Michael Bianco. This conference was held in preparation for the State Convention of the I.C.G. in Harrisburg this month. More than fifteen colleges and universities sent representatives to Wilkes for this meeting. Several faculty members have been attending conferences and conventions in their major field of interest. Dr. Daniel P. Detweiler and Dr. Julien A. Ripley, who joined the physics department faculty at the beginning of this school year, attended the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New York City. Mr. Richard B. Chapline, member of the college music faculty, lent his vocal talent to the Modern Language Conference held in Philadelphia. He sang solo and participated in several duets and trios in a program of obscure dramatic music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The old question of sports participation between King’s and Wilkes has come up again with its annual regularity. 1 This time the interest has been heightened by the fact that Scranton University has dropped football, with the result of both schools losing a primary foe on the grid­ iron field. Since King's has stopped the policy of giving scholarships based on athletic prowess alone, the main reason for not meeting them on the gridiron field seems to be the possibility of near-riot behavior on the part of students from both colleges. A sports editorial in the Beacon threw a great deal of light on the subject and stated in closing: "It is highly unlikely that King’s and Wilkes will compete against each other . . . until there is very strong evidence that the spectators will behave in a manner typical of educated people who appreciate the skills involved and who are not interested in using the occasion to release their hostilities.” Another new facet of College life was added recently by the formation of Associated Women Students. This organization will provide self-government for all the women of Wflkes, along with offering them many ex­ periences in leadership and organization so essential to community living. A.W.S. is part of an intercollegiate body that represents most of the colleges and universi­ ties in the nation where women are educated. The "Best-Dressed Coed on Campus" was chosen again this year with a new inovation. She, Miss Eleanore Nielson, sophomore, competed with nine other coeds in a fasion show sponsored by the Beacon. The public was invited to see the girls modeling three outfits from their own personal wardrobe while a panel of judges, consist­ ing of local department store buyers and two professional models, picked the girl to be entered in Glamour maga­ zine’s' national contest. This new year found the Economics Club participating in a community-wide drive to "save your vision” through its annual "Eyeglasses for the Needy" campaign. Baskets all over campus and on Public Square were overflowing with contributions of spectacles before the campaign was over. An unusual side to this year's activities was a trip made to Dartmouth College. A bus load of students journeyed to New Hampshire to support our wrestling team in this Ivy-League competition match. The match was held during Dartmouth's Winter Carnival weekend, anc^ Wilkes won by shutting out the Dartmouth team. The students enjoyed that match and the other winter sports and fun offered at this nationally known festival. They were back in time for classes on Monday despite the winter’s worst snow storm.

We have "In the past these tasks because resources were always offered when our accomplished needs were pressing. We have again accepted commitments for the years ahead that appear too great for us. We have faith that our resources will grow in the future, as in the past, so that we may contrive to meet our commitments.'' In conclusion, the editorial suggests, "This is not to imply that the college will be in a position to rest on its laurels; far from that, it will have to press forward with all the vigor and skill at its command to harvest the crop These words from President Farley's annual report of 1960, coming as they do on the eve of the annual appeal for funds for the College, highlight the importance of meeting our goal ■— a goal which must be met each and every year until the College reaches what industry pre­ fers to call the "break-even point". And indeed one wonders if a college ever reaches this Utopian plateau! Certainly, it appears questionable when one considers those colleges 100 or more years old which even now' have launched capital gifts campaigns with goals set in the millions of dollars. For unlike man, W'ho attains full stature during his lifetime, the college ever strives to reach goals that stretch higher and higher with the sown in the 1950’s". In essence, the editorial tosses out two gauntlets — the first before the community; the other before the College. It suggests the community hitch its wagon to the star of the College, then with the same breath, adjures the College to lengthen its stride. Complimentary as is the editorial, it is equally challenging, and insofar as the community is concerned, the area has already met this challenge by subscribing $1,500,000 to the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund appeal in the most success­ ful campaign the Fund has conducted since its inception. Thus the die is cast. passage of time. When Wilkes College was founded in 1933 as a branch of Bucknell University, no one could foresee its develop­ ment nor predict its relations developing between the College and the community. These prospects then lay hidden in the future and awaited the unfolding of plans It is cast too for the Wilkes Alumni. The goal set for the annual Campaign which is being launched in May is $100,000. $70,000 of this amount is earmarked for scholarships; $30,000 for the Chemistry and Physics Graduate Program to which the College is committed. May 3 is the date set for the kick-off dinner in Hotel and events. EDITORIAL COMMENT No one in 1933 could pull aside the curtain of Time and predict in 1961 an editorial from the Times LeaderEvening News that would read as follows: "................ The community could have no better example than the institution is furnishing by its foresight and courage. What Wilkes College is able to achieve, so can WilkesBarre with comparable effort and optimism”. Sterling. Alumni and friends of the College will be invited to respond to the campaign so that Wilkes may continue to serve many of the ablest and most promising students (Continued on Page 27) 3 �your employer MAY match your gift GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CHEMISI AND PHYSICS ANNOUNCED Across the face of the nation, more than one hundred companies this year are participating in a matching gift program whereby the company contributes a sum to a college or university matching the amount contributed by the alumnus.

Other major firms quickly picked up the idea, helping alumni support to reach a new high. As originally conceived by General Electric, the program has four objectives: - - - To provide an incentive for regular contributions by the employee who benefited from his education (AT WILKES COLLEGE.) - - - To recognize the joint benefits of that education to employer and employee; - - - To stimulate more active alumni support and participation, and - - - To set a pattern of corporate support of higher education that could be followed by other companies. All of these objectives have proved to be realistic, accord­ ing to a study conducted by the American Alumni Council. Each company with a MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM has worked out its own restrictions and special pro­ visions. All, however, have the same basic objective: to help the cause of education. Ask about the matching gift program at your company. You may be able to give your alma mater a double assist in this year's Annual Campaign which is scheduled for the month of May.

Because this graduate d was then in the planning stage, it was impossible to elaborate up< the details of the program. However, such details have now been worked out, and it is our pie to bring you up-to-date concerning this important development at Wil College. Because of increasing need for advanced education in the sciences, Wilkes College is offering a program of graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree. The program is designed so that engineers and scientists employed in the area may continue their studies without interrupting their employment. To permit this combina­ tion of work and study, classes ordinarily will meet for two 1 hour evening sessions each week. It is expected that the average part-time student will pursue one course per semester. It will be possible, how­ ever, for students with more time to take a heavier schedule. It is not planned to offer the full program in any one year, as most of the students will be unable to give full time to their studies. The offerings will be so arranged, however, that the student may plan for continuous progress in his course. The College reserves the right to cancel at the time of registration any course with a registration of less than ten students. ADMISSIONS Persons holding the bachelor's degree in chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering are eligible to apply. Application must be made on forms that can be obtained from the Office of Admissions. They must be supported by letters of evaluation from the applicant's under­ graduate college, either as a departmental evaluation or from two individual members. In addition, a letter of evaluation from the applicant's supervisor must be sub­ mitted in the case of employed applicants. Official tran­ scripts of all undergraduate and graduate studies previously completed should be submitted to the Director of Admissions directly by the registrar of the institution which granted the baccalaureate degree. This will only be done upon request of the applicant. An Admissions Committee will consider each application and their decision will be based upon the information submitted. As a general rule, it is expected that students will have achieved a B average or better in their major fields during their undergraduate years, and will show evidence of intellectual and tenipermental fitness for graduate study.

Because this graduate division was then in the planning stage, it was impossible to elaborate upon the details of the program. However, such details have now b een worked out, and it is our pleasure to bring you up-to-date concerning this important development at Wilkes College. It is recommended that applicants take the Graduate Record Examination so that their scores may be sub­ mitted to the College in support of their application. If an applicant fails to satisfy the requirement of a B av­ erage in his major field, the Graduate Record Examina­ tion is mandatory. Because of increasing need for advanced education in the sciences, Wilkes College is offering a program of graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree. The program is designed so that engineers and scientists employed in the area may continue their studies without interrupting their employment. To permit this combina­ tion of work and study, classes ordinarily will meet for two 1 x/z hour evening sessions each week. Since the major field of graduate study may not be the same as the student’s undergraduate major, it is possible that certain students may be deficient in preparation in their fields of interest. In such an event, an applicant may be granted provisional admission until he has shown, either by satisfactorily completing undergraduate courses without credit or by passing examinations set by the department concerned, that his basic preparation is adequate. It is expected that the average part-time student will pursue one course per semester. It will be possible, how­ ever, for students with more time to take a heavier schedule. It is not planned to offer the full program in any one year, as most of the students will be unable to give full time to their studies. The offerings will be so arranged, however, that the student may plan for continuous progress in his course. Persons who do not possess a baccalaureate degree, but who wish to undertake graduate courses without be­ coming candidates for a degree may be admitted to study by demonstrating that they are qualified for such studies. The College reserves the right to cancel at the time of registration any course with a registration of less than ten students. Seniors at Wilkes College may be permitted to enroll in certain graduate courses with the approval of the chair­ man of their undergraduate departments and of the Com­ mittee on Graduate Studies. Credit for such courses will ordinarily be at the undergraduate level, although students requiring not more than six additional under­ graduate credits to complete the baccalaureate degree may be allowed up to six hours of graduate credit if prior to registration they have been accepted for graduate studies. ADMISSIONS Persons holding the bachelor’s degree in chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering are eligible to apply. Application must be made on forms that can be obtained from the Office of Admissions. They must be supported by letters of evaluation from the applicant’s under­ graduate college, either as a departmental evaluation or from two individual members. In addition, a letter of evaluation from the applicant's supervisor must be sub­ mitted in the case of employed applicants. Official tran­ scripts of all undergraduate and graduate studies previously completed should be submitted to the Director of Admissions directly by the registrar of the institution which granted the baccalaureate degree. This will only be done upon request of the applicant. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Before the end of his second semester of graduate study, each student shall select a major advisor under whose direction he wishes to pursue his dissertation research. After acceptance by the advisor, the advisor shall ap­ point two other members of the Graduate faculty to serve with him as the student's advisory committee. An Admissions Committee will consider each application and their decision will be based upon the information submitted. As a general rule, it is expected that students will have achieved a B average or better in their major fields during their undergraduate years, and will show evidence of intellectual and tempermental fitness for graduate study. Before beginning his third semester of graduate studies, the student, in consultation with his advisory committee, shall submit to the Committee on Graduate Studies an outline of his graduate program, together with a tentative dissertation title.

The old grandstand and bleachers have already been removed and students of the College are getting the grounds ready for summer and fall sports. ARTILLERY PARK TAKES ON NEW LOOK This spring Wilkes College will have come a long way in that the new athletic facilities, almost ready for use, will be opened for the students of the College. Un­ doubtedly many alumni can perhaps remember enjoying a cup of coffee in the Commons and wondering just when Wilkes would have its own football field. Well ■— time has passed and because of the loyal support of aumni and friends, Wilkes not only has a football field, but six new ‘‘all weather” tennis courts, a girls' hockey field, an archery range, new field houses and room for parking quite a few automobiles. The question may come to your mind ■— how did the College acquire these facilities, where are they located and of what help were her alumni? Artillery Park has been an unused and ‘‘attractive nuis­ ance" since the withdrawal of the Barons. To provide “caretaker service" and to increase the attractiveness of the area without cost to the 109th Field Artillery Bat­ talion, some responsible user was needed. The College offered a long-time lease in order to provide “caretaker service" and to acquire an area large enough for both inter-collegiate and intra-mural football, soccer, and baseball. Under the terms of this agreement the College will maintain the property and will have the privilege of using it except in a period of national emergency. It will also make the field available to the 109th for special oc­ casions and for physical conditioning of its men. In the summers the College plans to make the area available, SUSAN GREENBURG Times have Have America's college insofar as is practicable, to the Community through the Recreation Association. Thus, the agreement will be advantageous to the College, to the 109th, and to the Community. Last year’s Three-Phase Campaign provided funds for the development of these facilities and also for the pur­ chase of four acres of former Glen Alden property op­ posite Artillery Park on Northampton Street. The land acquired from Glen Alden will provide space for the 6 “all weather" tennis courts, the archery range, the girls hockey field, and ample room for utility and parking areas. Wilkes graduates can be proud of these new facilities. knowing that they have helped, through the Three-Phase Campaign, to acquire them. Of further interest to our alumni is the fact that Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, a Wilkes alumnus, handled negotiations with the State Attorney General’s Department along with Dr. Eugene S. Farley, President; and Admiral Harold RStark, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Thus, Wilkes College moves forward on all fronts assisted by the continued loyalty of its graduates and its many friends. We have every reason to be proud, don t you think so? Why not drop us a line and give us your impression of these new developments. We would like to hear from YOU!

'TT'v.UT there is a serious side. Today’s students, many professors say, are more accomplished than the average of their predecessors. Perhaps this is because there is greater competition for college en­ trance, nowadays, and fewer doubtful candidates get in. Whatever the reason, the trend is important. For civilization depends upon the transmission of knowledge to wave upon wave of young people—and on the way in which they receive it, master it, employ it. add to it. If the transmission process fails, we go back to the beginning and start over again. We are never more than a generation away from total ignor­ ance. Because for a time it provides the world’s leaders, each generation has the power to change the course of history. The current wave is thus exactly as important as the one before it and the one that will come after it. Each is crucial in its own time. will the present student generation do? What are its hopes, its dreams, its principles? Will it build on our past, or reject it? Is it, as is so often claimed, a generation of timid organiza­ tion people, born to be commanded? A patient band of revolutionaries, waiting for a breach? Or something in between? hat No one—not even the students themselves—can be sure, of course. One can only search for clues, as we do in the fourteen pages that follow. Here we look at, and listen to, college students of 1961—the people whom higher education is all about. Scott Thompson Barbara Nolan i Robert Thompson Roy Muir Ruth Tars ir Galen Unger Parker Palmer Martha Freeman Dean Windgassen * Robert Schloredt Arthur Wortman What are today’s students like I To help find out, we invite you to join Patricia Burgamy 0LZ Kenneth Weaver David Gilmour fourteen young men and women pictured above come from fourteen colleges and universi­ ties, big and little, located in all parts of the United States. Some of their alma maters are private, some are state or city-supported, some are related to a church. The students’ studies range widely—from science and social studies to agriculture and engineering. Outside the classroom, their interests are similarly varied. Some are athletes (one is All-American quarterback), some are active in student government, others stick to their books. To help prepare this report, we invited all fourteen, as articulate representatives of virtually every type of campus in America, to meet for a weekend of searching discussion. The topic: themselves. The objective: to ob­ he tain some clues as to how the college student of the Sixties ticks. The resulting talk—recorded by a stenographer and presented in essence on the following pages—is a reveal­ ing portrait of young people. Most revealing—and in a way most heartening—is the lack of unanimity which the students displayed on virtually every topic they discussed. As the seminar neared its close, someone asked the group what conclusions they would reach about them­ selves. There was silence. Then one student spoke: "We’re all different,” he said. He was right. That was the only proper conclusion. Labelers, and perhaps libelers, of this generation might take note. A senitnnr \ofstudentsfr°m const to const �student is a wonderful thing. Z ^tudent years are exciting years. They are exciting for the participants, many of whom are on their own for the first time in their lives—and exciting for the onlooking adult. But for both generations, these are frequently painful years, as well. The students’ competence, which is considerable, gets them in dutch with their elders as often as do their youthful blunders. That young people ignore the adults’ soundest, most heart­ felt warnings is bad enough; that they so often get away with it sometimes seems unforgivable. Being both intelligent and well schooled, as well as unfettered by the inhibitions instilled by experience, they readily identify the errors of their elders—and they are not inclined to be lenient, of course. (The one unforgivable sin is the one you yourself have never committed.) But, lacking experience, they are apt to commit many of the same mistakes. The wise adult understands this: that only in this way will they gain experience and learn tolerance—neither of which can be conferred. “They say the student is an animal in transition. You have to wait until you get your degree, they say; then you turn the big corner and there you are. But being a student is a vocation, just like being a lawyer or an editor or a business man. This is what we are and where we are.” “The college campus is an open market of ideas. I can walk around the campus, say what I please, and be a truly free person. This is our world for now. Let's face it we'll never live in a more stimulating environment. Being a student is a wonderful and magnificent and fiee thing. �66 You goto college to learn, of course. $ut learning comes in many ways. 55 "I'd like to bring up something I think is a fault in our colleges: the great emphasis on grades." "I think grades interfere with the real learning process. I've talked with people who made an A on an exam —but next day they couldn't remember half the material. They just memorized to get a good grade." "You go to college to learn, of course. But learning comes in many ways—not just from classrooms and books, but from personal relations with people: holding office in student government, and that sort of thing." "It's a favorite academic cliche, that not all learning comes from books. I think it's dangerous. I believe the greatest part of learning does come from books—just plain books." ERICH HARTMANN, MAGNUM SUsAN GREKNBLRC r\ student’s LIFE, contrary to the memories that alumni and alumnae may have of "carefree” days, is often described by its partakers as "the mill.” "You just get in the old mill,” said one student panelist, "and your head spins, and you’re trying to get ready for this test and that test, and you are going along so fast that you don’t have time to find yourself.” The mill, for the student, grinds night and day—in class­ rooms, in libraries, in dining halls, in dormitories, and in scores of enterprises, organized and unorganized, classed vaguely as "extracurricular activities.” Which of the activities —or what combination of activities—contributes most to a student’s education? Each student must concoct the recipe for himself. "You have to get used to living in the mill and finding yourself,” said another panelist. "You’ll always be in the mill —all through your life.” �“It’s important to know you can do a good job at something. " ~rr t’s hard to conceive of this unless you’ve been I through it . . . but the one thing that’s done the "The more you do, the more you seem to get done. You organize your time better.” most for me in college is baseball. I’d always been the guy with potential who never came through. The I -T'1” coach worked on me; I got my control and really started going places. The confidence I gained carried over into my studies. I say extracurricular activities are worthwhile. It’s important to know you can do a good job at something, tvhatever it is.” > "No! Maybe I’m too idealistic. But I think college is a place for the pursuit of knowledge. If we’re here for knowledge, that’s what we should concentrate on.” t> "In your studies you can goof off for a while and still catch up. But in athletics, the results come right on the spot. There’s no catching up, after the play is over. This carries over into your school work. I think almost everyone on our football team improved his grades last fall.” t> "This is true for girls, too. The more you have to do, the more you seem to get done, You organize your time better.” > "I can’t see learning for any other purpose than to better yourself and the world. Learning for itself is of no value, except as a hobby—and I don’t think we’re in school to join book clubs.” SUSAN GREENBUHG > "For some people, learning is an end in itself. It can be more than a hobby. I don’t think we can afford to be too snobbish about what should and what shouldn’t be an end in itself, and what can or what can’t be a creative channel for different people.” "In athletics, the results come right on the spot. There’s no catching up, after the play.” I II Il ■ �“It seems to me you’re saying that ollege honor works only when it’s easy. Tin from a school with an honor system that works. But is the reason it works maybe because of the tremendous penalty that's connected with cheating, stealing, or lying? It's expulsion—and what goes along with that is that you can't get into another good school or even get a good job. It's about as bad a punishm ent as this country can give out, in my opinion. Does the honor system instill honor—or justfear?” is where many students meet the first great test of their personal integrity. There, where one’s progress is measured at least partly by examinations "At our school the honor system works even though the penalties aren't that stiff. It's part of the tradition. Most of the girls feel they're given the responsibility to be honorable, and they accept it.” and grades, the stress put upon one’s sense of honor is heavy. For some, honor gains strength in the process. For others, the temptation to cheat is irresistible, and honor breaks under the strain. Some institutions proctor all tests and examinations. An instructor, eagle-eyed, sits in the room. Others have honor systems, placing upon the students themselves the -My- k‘&^y responsibility to maintain integrity in the student com­ munity and to report all violators. "On our campus you can leave your books anywhere and they’ll be there tvhen you come back. You can even leave a tall, cold milkshake—Tve done it—and when you come back two hours later, it will still be there. It wont be cold, but it will be there. You learn a respectfor honor, a respect that will carry over into otherfields for the rest ofyour life.” How well either system works varies greatly. "When you come right down to it,” said one member of our student panel, "honor must be inculcated in the years before college —in the home.” *** j V "I’d say the minority who are top students don't cheat, because they're after knowledge. And the great majority in the middle don’t cheat, because they're afraid to. But the poor students, who cheat to get by . . . The funny thing is, they're not afraid at all. I guess theyfigure they've nothing to lose.” "Nobody is just honest or dishonest. T m sure everyone here has been guilty of some sort of dishonest act in his lifetime. But everyone here would also say he's primarily honest. I know if I were really in the dutch I'd cheat. I admit it and I don't necessarily consider myself dishonest because I would.” "It seems to me you're saying that honor works only when it's easy.” ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ’’Maybe you need a B in a test, or you don’t get into medical school. And the guy ahead ofyou raises the average by cheating. That makes a real problem.” © "Absolute honor is 150,000 miles out, at least. And we're down here, walking this earth with all our faults. You can look up at those clouds ofhonor up there and say, 'They’re pretty, but I can't reach them.’ Or you can shoot for the clouds. I think that's the approach I want to take. 1 don't think I can attain absolute honor, but I can try—and Td like to leave this world with that on my batting record.” �6€Ifs not how we feel about issues— but whether we feel at all. E are being criticized by other people all the time, and they’re stamping down on us. 'You’re not doing anything,’ they say. I’ve noticed an attitude among students: Okay, just keep criticizing. But we’re going to come back and react. In some ways we’re going to be a little rebellious. We’re going to show you what we can really do.” Today’s college students are perhaps the most thoroughly analyzed generation in our history. And they are acutely aware of what is being written about them. The word that rasps their nerves most sorely is "apathy.” This is a generation, say many critics, that play's it cool. It may be casually interested in many things, but it is excited by none. Is the criticism deserved? Some college students and their professors think it is. Others blame the times —times without deprivation, times w’hose burning issues are too colossal, too impersonal, too remote— and say that the apparent student lassitude is simply society’s lassitude in microcosm. The quotation that heads this column is from one of the members of our student panel. At the right is "Our student legislature fought most of the year about taking stands. The majority rationalized, saying it wasn't our place; what good would it do? They were afraid people would check the college in future years and if they took an unpopular stand they wouldn't get security clearance or wouldn’t get a job. I thought this was awful. But I see indications of awakening of interest. It isn’t how we feel about issues, but whether we feel at all.” "Tm sure it’s practically the same everywhere. We have 5,500full-time students, but onlyfifteen or twenty of us went on the sit-downs.” "I think there is a great deal of student opinion about public issues. It isn’t always rational, and maybe we don’t talk about it, but I think most of us have definite feelings about most things.” "Toe felt the apathy at my school. The university is a sort of isolated little world. Students don’t feel the big issues really concern them. The civil rights issue is close to home, but you’d have to chase a student down to get him to give his honest opinion.” " We’re quick to criticize, slow to act.” what some of the others think. "Do you think that just because students in America don’t cause revolutions and riots and take active stands, this means . . "I’m not callingfor revolution. I’m calling for interest, and I don't care what side the student takes, as long as he takes a side.” "But even when we went down to Woolworth’s carrying a picket sign, what were some of the motives behind it? Was it just to get a day away from classes?” "Z attended a discussion where Negro students presented their views. I have never seen a group of more dynamic or dedicated or informed students.” "But they had a personal reason.” 'That's just it. The only thing I can think of, where students took a stand on our campus, was when it was decided that it wasn’t proper to have a brewery sponsor the basketball team on television. This caused a lot of student discussion, but it’s the only instance I can remember.” "Why is there this unwillingness to take stands?” "I think one big reason is that it’s easier not to. It’s much easierfor a person just to go along.” "Tve sensed the feeling that unless it really bums within you, unless there is something where you can see just what you have done, you might as well just let the world roll on as it is rolling along. After all, people are going to act in the same old way, no matter what we try to do. Society is going to eventually come out in the same way, no matter what I, as an individual, try to do.” "A lot of us hang back, saying, 'Well, why have an idea now? It’ll probably be different when Tm45.’ ” "And you ask yourself, Can I take time awayfrom my studies? You ask yourself, Which is more important? Which is more urgent to me?” "Another reason is fear of repercussions—fear of offending people. I went on some sit-downs and I didn’t sit uneasy just because the manager of the store gave me a dirty scowl—but because my friends, my grandparents, were looking at me with an uneasy scowl.” �"Perhaps 'waiting' is the attitude of our age—in every generation." "Then there comes the obvious question, With all this waiting, what are we waitingfor? Are we waitingfor some disaster that will malce us do something? Or are we tvaitingfor some 'national purpose’ to come along, so we can jump on its bandwagon? So we are at a train station; what’s coming?"

Perhaps we'll get one, someday.” "They had to have a purpose. They were starving, The panel was discussing student purposes. "We need a purpose,” one member said. "I mean a purpose other than a search for security, or getting that §18,000- almost.” "They were dying of starvation and we are dying of overweight. And yet we still should have a purpose — a real purpose, with some point to it other than self­ ish mediocrity. We do have a burning issue—just plain survival.

"But I have to say something negative, too,” the professor went on. "I find students more neurotic, more insecure, than ever before. Most of them seem to have no goal. They’re intellectually stimulated, but they don’t know where they’re going. I blame the world situation—the insecurity of everything today.” "I can’t agree with people who see big changes in students,” said another professor, at another school. "It seems to me they run about the same, year after year. We have the bright, hard-working ones, as we have always had, and we have the ones who are just coasting along, who don’t know why they’re in school —just as we’ve always had.” "They’re certainly an odd mixture at that age—a combination of conservative and romantic,” a third professor said.

William Crowder super­ vises the production. For some time many former Cue 'N' Curtain members and faculty at Wilkes College have discussed the possi­ bility of a Theater Alumni. In May 1960. under the guidance of Mr. Alfred Groh, a member of the English Department at Wilkes, the Wilkes College Theater Alumni was born. The first slate of officers included Bert Stein. President; Peter Margo, Vice President; Marion Laines, Secretary; and Ed Bolinski, Treasurer. The duties of Theater Alumni Secretary are presently being handled by Mary Frances Swigert and the Treasurer is Steve Cooney. The program, “Recollections in Three Acts", follows: Act I: Drama. “Treachery" from The Changeling by Thomas Middleton; Stephen Cooney and Sue Vaughn. "Address to the Archbishop" from Shaw's Saint Joan; Mary Frances Swigert. “Renunciation Scene” from Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe: Peter Margo. "To be Desired” from The Astonished Heart by Noel Coward; Ann Azat Hayes and Carroll V. Stein. On Friday, October 14 a large group of Wilkes College Theater Alumni met to discuss the aims and future activi­ ties of the organization. The purpose of the Theater Alumni, through their interest and activities, is to strengthen the resolve of Wilkes College to build a Fine Arts building with complete theater facilities; and eventu­ ally. to include dramatics in the college curriculum. The group will stimulate undergraduate interest in the theater by presenting the "Margo Addie Award” to the actor or actress giving the best performance at the annual spring Theater Alumni Reunion. Act II: Comedy. “If Men Played Cards as Women Do” by George S. Kaufman; Jerry Lind, Paul Thomas, John Williams and Edward Wallison. Act.

"Lullaby" from Bloomer Girl by Harold Arlen; Helen Ralston and Linda Stein. “Wand'rin' Star" from Paint Your Wagon by Lerner and Loewe; Stanley Yurkowski. "There's no Business Like Show Business” from Annie Get Your Gun by Irving Berlin; the entire cast. "I Got Rhythm from Girl Crazy, Basia Mieszkowski Jaworski. That's the “Wilkes College Theater Alumni Story” brief­ ly to date. Bert Stein stated that the Theater Alumni “intends to add more successful chapters to the life of Wilkes College because we realize the great promise an organized alumni gives to the future of the campus theater: and we remember how important the Wilkes Theater was to us as students.” This first attempt by Theater Alumni, it is hoped, will encourage more enthusiastic campus support for the pro­ posed Arts Building. Proceeds will go towards this end. Tickets priced at $2.20 have been sent Theatre Alumni members; they may also be obtained by writing Cue N' Curtain, but no tickets will be sold at the door.

RCA COMMITMENT To meet the commitments made by the College to Radio Corporation of America, it will be necessary to extend Stark Hall within the next three years. This will provide facilities for graduate work in chemistry and physics, the program of which is announced elsewhere in this issue of The Alumnus. Whether or not these commit­ ments are met successfully depends in great measure upon the response by the Alumni. Obviously, this response grows greater with the years, depending first upon the growth in numbers of the Alumni, and secondly upon the individual success quotient. In other words, the College cannot expect the same re­ sponse from the graduate of 1960 as she can from her Alumnus of 1940. But the College does feel worthy of consideration from each and every one of her Alumni. Wrapping it up in celophane, let's hope for and receive 100 percent returns. The most significant thing about Alumni pledges is not HOW MUCH money is pledged, but HOW MANY are participating. Do not hesitate making a pledge because you feel it is not enough.
